MitsuStyle Spring cruise -April 12-13, 2008 - Page 41

i have another (somewhat small) damage report from the cruise.

after the car wash, peter and i were coming home up 61. we stopped for food and on our way out i noticed that my left side windsheild trim had been popped out. it had never happened before. i snapped it back in and thought it would hold. last night while driving down the freeway, it got caught in the wind and was ripped back, bending the metal and ripping the rubber. ugh.

i know my damage isnt anything near rosey's or 311evo's but it still kinda sucks.

So thats why you had red tape on it this morning!

When spray-detailing my car last night I noticed my front bumper squeaking so it looks like hitting that pheasant broke a clip or something inside my bumper.

Holy shit! Did you end up pulling the motor, or just swapping out the crank with the block still in the car, head still on top?

craig · 04-18-2008

left the block in the car and pulled the tranny out, head stay'd on. would of taken a day longer but my father started early yesterday to help me out.
