An Update
My mechanic checked my car today, I have three things visible which must be changed: The lower assembly and its ball joint and both the engine mounts. The oil leak are from these mounts because they are filled with it.
I will go this evening to take the lower assembly + its flange and ball joint and the other side flange all for $150 from the wrecked black SVX i found. as for the mounts I prefer getting them new, but if they were costly I will check with that guy if his are still in good shape. I will be buying also a new fender even though mine can still be repaired... Keeping fingers crossed.

Does your SVX have passive 4 wheel steering or are the struts slightly bent?
But seriously though, I feel really bad about what happened, but the good thing is you made some great quick descisions which not only ended up getting nobody killed (even though you may regret that sometimes, jk) but also without wreaking total havoc on your SVX's chassis. Best of luck repairing it, but most of us may be sad but not surprised if you don't so thats ok. Either way, good luck. |

Yeah, you do make some good points, just sounded a bit rude to me, but youre a newbie too, so I guess that's forgivable. If I remember correctly, SilverSpear does celebrate xmas, I think he mentioned his religion in a couple of threads. I dunno if christmas is one of those reasonable assumptions, like assuming people on here are guys unless told otherwise. IMO it gets a little tiring typing out the whole he/she or xmas/kwanzaa/solstice/hanukkah/seasonofnoparticularimportance, even if saying all that would be more correct.

And I am Christian Maronite (in other words Catholic but because we had a Saint from Lebanon recognized by the Vatican called Maron, we were known as Christian Maronites in order to distinguish us as the Lebanese Catholics..) And we are true Christians in the sense... Well Jesus was born in northern Palestine which is very near to Lebanon and he lived in this area... Don't be surprised if you find Christians in the middle east, there are some in Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan and mostly you can find them in Lebanon. This is just for info. Plus my name is Danny = St Daniel . Muslims' names are Mohammed, Ahmed, Mostapha, Ali.............

I'm a 'member' of my company's Inclusion Council so I've been brainwashed to be more careful about making assumptions. That's why I made my comment about celebrating the 'holiday'. Dan |

Today I went to the guy and found that he and his family (he alone has 11 brothers and sisters) own 5 XT's, 4 legacies, 6 impreza's, 1 daihatsu feroza, 2 SVX's........ they can open a D*mn dealership branch in their location!!! the pics speak for themselves:
Starting with the SVX's: The burgundy is pretty much beaten up as for the Silver, it is still brand new. still the original paint, interior is flawless... but no EG33!!!!!! We was asking $3000 for both but because the Silver has a 4 year unpaid taxes, along with penalties amounted to $1500. So My best offer was $1000 for both. Hoping he accepts!!!

here are the part of the rest..
Sorry I forgot to mention that he showed me a picture of his and his brothers' 16 XT's lined up in front of their house dated 17/5/1998. I was stupid enough not to take a picture of them...

Repairs in Process
The bodyshop works, this one of the top in the country:
Maybe I can convince you by those pictures that labor is cheap here. Maybe in the states it is cheaper for you to replace a damaged fender by a new one than fixing it. The new fender costs $105 at the dealership here, but fixing it costs less, near $50 in metal works alone without paint. here are the pictures: As for Fiberglass, here is a mold for the projectors area:

Those are preliminary pics, i will update when improvement is reached: Sorry it was raining and one cannot work with fiberglass in a closed garage, so I had to open the door causing some water from rain to come inside as you see in the floor Sorry for the low resolution Pics
