Thanks! My step dad played a huge part in it, I couldn't have done it without him. It actually happened at the very end of September going into the winter. It's usually crappy weather where I live so doing something like that would have been equally crappy in the driveway and no cover, rain and cold, etc. It was the beginning of February by the time I sourced parts and mid April when I began repairs. March I took a vacation being really worn out from work then shortly after got laid off due to covid so I took advantage of that time to do repairs. It was about a month later the odds and ends were mostly buttoned up and I was driving it. I still need an alignment but there appears to be a delay getting my tie rod ends and boots however the car is driving exceptionally smooth given the late history, just has some torque steer under throttle.
I used to cringe the possibility of needing the mallet to take off rotors or stubborn ball joints. Now it's all about getting back behind the wheel no matter what. I always used to talk about how clean it was, inside and out. Still is inside, and from the right angles, outside too.
Even after the repairs I'm still getting compliments, thumbs up from onlookers, and a lot of love for the platform. That alone was worth holding onto! No way was this getting junked. #savetheeclipse
