based on the pix, i think the headlight is still intact.. you just need the clear bezel that covers the fins.

UPDATE ON PROJECT..



She is fixed !!!!




After having everything in place, I think I know why it was wrecked. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. The fronts were full of air so we bled the whole system and got all of the air out and now it can actualy stop

She look very purdy now, pics will follow very soon.



Also the power steering does not work. I will have to look into that. Maybe the pump went oput due to the wreck, it's all good because I have another one to steal parts from.

Yes I grew to love the OEM lights so it will stay that way.

Here are the pics of the car now.

I need to play a little bit more with the latch to get the hood to shut leveled to the fenders









That spare is too clean to even think about using it.. lol

Clean interior...



There is still a few bugs that need to be worked out but once that is done it will be a sweet ride.

The reason there was no oil showing on the dipstick is because the top oil cooler fitting had come off during the wreck and the oild was gushing out. I poured 2 quarts in it and it was at the right level but I had to crank it and lose the 2 quarts right back to realise where the leak was coming from
