Man that is a bummer! Steering hoses is one of my winter projects too. I'm not looking forward to it. I saw a few kits out there with all the hoses included so that's good. FYI NAPA might have a kit to rebuild the RAM. If your valve is having issues thought that is a pain to hunt down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwcstang 201 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 so as some of you know, my car was accidently hit a few months back when it was at a shop getting repaired. well long story short, the painters could not blend the paint and had to respray the car. The gentlemen's Insurance USAAA wasn't wanting to pay the full amount as only $1200 was a "Fair" for this type of car..so I had to create a claim CA Department of Insurance and after much delegation, they agreed to give more money to cover half the cost of the respray. So I went to a shop that was here locally and found out one of my old work colleagues has a shop with a good reputation and I never been happier. He prepped the car and had it painted. This time, I got the fender lipped rolled due to the tires rubbing and there was some paint issues but he's going to respray again to correct the problem. anyways, here are the latest pictures: 2 SWPruett and rwcstang reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted January 11, 2016 Glad it's going back together as I've followed your thread a long time. All these crash and crunch threads makes me want to leave mine in the garage now that it's running and it's not nearly as nice as most here. Good deal it's getting done right though!

Stephen I know how you feel, I feel like too many drivers are not aware of their surroundings and pay too much attention to their phones. it makes me gringe/frustrated that these insurance adjuster's think its easy to repair these old cars when in reality it is not.
