I need an opinion-
I just came into 500 bucks and there is some work I need done on my DSM. I have a feeling of what i want to have done first- but I want some opinions before I make my final decision- Should I
A) My radiator support is bent back due to the previous owner rear ending someone at low speeds. The hood currently doesn't latch per say but I have hood pins in. Should I disassemble the front and have a frame shop straighten that out for me?
B) I have a pretty nasty exhaust leak in the flex section of the downpipe. Should I replace it with a new aftermarket piece? I don't need to go any higher than 2.5 for my goals though-
C) I'm having some funny happenings with the car running- when it gets up to running temps the 3rd cylinder misses every so often. So I was thinking about picking up a head from a junk yard or a dealer (who would you suggest?), building it, and swapping it on (all the while getting the timing belt, balance shaft belt, and water pump re-done)
C would be the most expensive and time consuming to me.... and this IS my daily driver.... so.........Any help and or opinions would be greatly welcomed
