the thermo fan itself is straight off of a early 90's camry.. u pull it job.

i'm hopin it'll look good got alot of dents to smooth out though.

I'm sure its going to look great when she is all finished, also.........in the photo where you show your exhaust? Your rear shackle rubbers have collapsed dude! I think they need replacing,

shackle rubbers?

me dumb dumb give me gum gum!

what do they do?

could that be why my rear suspension is a bit squishy and everything has become

to sound loose?

Yeah mate that would be the reason! The shackles are the part that attaches the rear of your leaf suspension to the car body! Best thing to so is to get some new bushes! Can get ones that aren't rubber and they will tighten up the handling quite abit! :o

 

 

Edit: Noltec i think the bushes are called or sumthing along those lines!
