Waxed the ride and installed some Mud flaps! Pictures coming tomorrow hopefully!

Plastidip my friend!

You're gonna apply the underbody rustproof on your pannels? I dont think thats the best way to go dude...

Might be silly, but did you reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery ? This resets the ECU

No need for a fuse... killswitching the ignition wire would be way more simple IMO

Why not simply killswitch the ignition wire so nothing happens when the key is in the "start" position?

MCM rocks! ive had watched the show 1 year before deciding to finally buy a car and mod it, they motivated me to become a gearhead !

I had to cut my 4 endlinks off when I did my suspension.. If all other methods proposed by the guy above me dont work (simple wrenching, with hex + wrench, wrench & vice grip), you can simply get a grinder, cut it in half, pull the strut out, then you can cut where the endlink and swaybar...

Past 160,000 kms this month (100k miles) Damn I feel old, even though I only had my car for 16,000 kms lol

Welcome to the forum buddy, car looks realllll good (I wish my body pannels would be this clean!) You can upload your pictures to a host site, for example imgur.com or tinypic.com for faster access!

I just lowered my car.. make sure you get the good endlinks.. I had to return to the piece store 2 times (If you had to cut / replace them) What you will need is 2006 AWD Ford escape front endlinks and mazdaspeed protege rear endlinks (If you dont upgrade your swaybar in the process)

Hahah your passenger-side doesnt look that bad.. but the driver side.. wow! You should maybe have acted when you could! hahah good luck with the repair Funny thing is that most of the rust on my pannels are on the front.. when yours is in the rear.. O.o maybe your front fenders got replaced at...

Hi, so yeah I needed to remove the rear (driver side) seat belt assembly for the strut & spring installation.. Now, its blocked and wont budge, its too short so I cant simply bolt it back in and not use it.. ive tried picking the mechanism with the screw driver as well as shaking / tapping it...

Car looks super good!! I feel like the need thing you should get is a MSP axleback or a catback exhaust!

exactly, rear MSP endlinks fit perfect for a drop with OEM shocks and tein springs (Id tend to say any aftermarket spring).. 1inch shorter made a whole world of difference haha If you ever do, send me a PM, we can do it together & other stuff, cheese that applies for you too haha! Oh cmon...

No more 4x4 height! Very happy with the results.. also took away the damn clunking by replacing all 4 endlinks Passes the shoe test! (if you watch MCM, youll know what I mean!)

Every day I go and immerse it into PB blaster... still wont budge... im desperated now.. maybe an impact.. we'll see and thanks for the hint, i havent done any serious research on bodywork but that is a good advice, ty!

exactly!

Howdy fellow montrealer! Well my car has been on jackstands for a week now... alot of problems came in my way when installing the new struts & springs.. fought the endlinks, ended up having to cut them, bought new endlinks, wrong size, couldnt work half the days because of the freezing weather...

Probable since im using OEM struts in the rear, and this is where this situation is problematic.. they probably raised the endlink socket on your Tokico for that very specific reason!
