Default Only took 2 weeks but my car is ready again
Took me two weeks to get my car back in what I consider drivable shape. Got it up on jackstands pulled all the wheels, all the brakes, checked the torque on all suspension components, pulled my swaybar reset and retorqued the endlinks and arms, and finally changed the oil.

Then came the detailing, washed, claybar'd, cleaned the paint, polished the paint, and waxed the paint. Spent almost as much time on my wheels as the body of the car, and finally a lil bit o time on the interior.

Looks like I'll need to take another trip out to the Dragon soon, to unfix all the work. Special thanks go out to Liz who helped out every step of the way.

I highly reccomend waxing the car on jack stands it was 100x easier at that height.

Hmmmm, now what weekend should I go back

Actually if the weather holds out this Saturday maybe perfect

My car must be completely un-drivable Especially after having the tire trailer attack the rear fender

Not drivable because of trailer damage... AND because you have no center caps on your wheels.
