Re: soon to be back in a SVX again
yeah unless the grille is tucked away in the trunk, and if it is busted up and there I still am going to need one.
polo green would be terrific. also going to need a hood, and keep my fingers crossed on anything else. 97 LSi polo #290...... anyone interested in buying a polo green scoop ?

Re: soon to be back in a SVX again
I am looking to have someone provide me some measurements for a SVX that has never been wrecked in the front.
This is the picture from auction on the one I have on the way. It was smacked dab center, high, above the bumper but into the upper radiator support.  When I redid my CR-Z with similar hit, I just went to the dealer with a tape measure and pad pad of paper at drew out the schematics/distance measured from the upper shock tower bolts, and some of the fender bolts, to the front radiator core support, brackets to hold the radiator in place, left and right, criss cross, etc. I can't simply go to the dealer, or anyone around here to compare. someone that has some free time, and wants to earn my brownie points, give me some measurements......thanks I realize, that once I get a good hood, i can fit it to the latch, but I want to be as close to factory measurements, and I do this with a come along, some metal brackets/metal bars, and lots of patience. My BRAT or a tree usually serves as anchor point for the come along, that way the vehicle I pull is in one spot, I can just maneuver that BRAT around for different pull angles.....

Re: soon to be back in a SVX again
Yea I see the hit now. Looks like it hit something high. Rode over the bumper. Car looks clean. Radiator not popped either. Member on here had a new Y pipe made at a local muffler shop.

Re: soon to be back in a SVX again
Sunday was rain
Monday was one of the only days off I get in the year, Columbus Day....and RAIN. RAIN RAIN RAIN Then tuesday, was rain and WIND WIND WIND 50mph winds all day long. The leaves covered my SVX I couldn't even see it. 4" of rain in my rain guage from Sunday night until Tuesday night Finally, today Wed I was able to remove the crumpled hood, install the new hood, and then do some radiator core pulling It got dark before I got it completed, but I have about 1/4 inch more to go for the left headlight, and about 3/8" or less to go on the very center of the core. (I haven't pulled center point yet, just rights and lefts) I got the right side to about spec. Tomorrow I plan to finish the rest of the pulls- one direct center, one near inner part of the left headlight.... Hood is lined up to be painted next week. Got the title transferred to my name today. Still will have salvage rebuild inspection to get done.

Re: soon to be back in a SVX again
car is now hoodless again, dropping hood off tomorrow to get paint this week.
Did get the headlights and corner lights all bolted back today, and resprayed the front and rear wiper arms. Removed the backwards front wheels with the new Michelins, and put them to the back, in correct sides, not backwards. The rears which had brand new Bridgestones, they are going to get dropped off at tires shop tomorrow to remove the Bridgestones and to install matching Michelins to the other 2. Whoever installed the rears, torqued them to hella level brakes pads look newer fronts and backs  unfortunately, i did see a small indention in the center top front portion of the replacement hood, so going to have to do some minor repairs before just paint...... waiting on the next warm day hopefully, to treat the leather to some Leatherique I have leftover from my last SVX...
