Alright. So this winter did quite a number on my poor little FC

suspension system-shot. Freakin massachusetts potholes. I think that a strut or something is broken in the left front, casue now i hear a clunk when i pass over bumps.

rust - like a slow evil cancer. Starting at the wheelwells. put a hole through the hood and i dont even want to know how bad that sunroof fairs.

paint- ha! someone did a cheap $200 jiffy-lube paint job on it sometime earlier in its life. Well, needless to say, the red-orange paint is chipping like crazy, and the clearcoat is coming off faster than a cheerleaders panties.

font bumper- damaged, from the aforementioned potholes, now i have a dent sorta thing at y right brake air-duct hole thing. and the black plastic on the bottom is hanging off.

and lastley, how the F%*@ do i get the condensation out from the FTP lenses?!?!

my whole point of this post is asking for advice on how to fix these problems myself for free (like.... myself). I dont have much bodywork experience, but if anyone has any tips or tricks when push comes to shove and i have to start patching up, it would be appreciated.

Also, what has this winter done to anyone ELSE unlucky enough to have drive their super-awesome-rotary-powered-v8 eatin-rice car shittin-Rex in the snow?

 

Well, mine hasnt been driven. Its been collecting bird ****, in one main spot from birds taking weather refuge. I now carry a pellet gun and shoot any bird I see.

 

Be sure to wash it off and keep wax on it. The PO of my car didn't keep wax on it or let bird **** stay on the hood for months...so now I have this spot...make that several.

If your front bumper seems like it's fading faster than the hood, try two coats of wax. Mine matches now!
