In Ontario we get **** for changing our plates. I had a friend do the same thing on his cooper S. Shortly afterwards he got a fine for damaging provincial property. Looks awesome though

Yea well tech. our plates are property of the state as well, but theyve been giving me **** for not having it on at all so I figure this is better than nothing lol. Plus its just bent not cut so I can bend it back if need be
Also, Im inside letting my hands warm back up. Heres what ive accomplished so far.
Fender off
Fender cleaned up and worked back to what I think is stock shape
Couple of scuffed spots
Broken headlight mount, the part that the bumper clips to, looks like Ill have a bit of headlight gap

As you can see I had to get a little drastic to get the bumper to line up properly again
Come nicer weather in the spring I may sand down this side of the bumper, bondo any deep gashes, and re-spray. As well as touch up the bad spots on the fender. But this is how Im gonna leave it for now

body work looks alright mate (minus Ziptie*) but it should be workable come spring, Glad to hear your picking up a cap. Also my buddy bent his plate the same way you did, and still got **** for it. It looks awesome but we cant get away for something like that for too long here.

Installed the oil catch can Ive had laying around today ... Think I did everything right, except I didnt use all the pieces to the "kit" :/
With the intake filter and coolant bottle removed
With everything back together
How I hooked it up
And the piece I didnt use, the right side is open like one would expect but the left side is just a solid metal piece with no hole in it basically a plug. Not sure why this would be needed :/

Your right. Fading battery would cause all of your issue's, so the cap will help save the next one. Your alternator would have been doing its job but the battery just couldn't put out enough.1988 Mercury Tracer. (aka Ford Laser)

Got this in the mail today ... my first one got chewed up a little this winter. Originally I wanted to just replace the chewed up letters but looks like last time I got the 8" and this time I got the 12" ... Ill have to check it out cuz I could've sworn I got the 12" last time. Should be going on when the weather gets nicer along with a new SLS Performance one thats on the way as well.
