    no because the broken grill fits fine

    okay i need tips on how to make the front part of the bumper go up, the sides are aligned but the front part is a little too low, i dont really see anyway of doing this? nose peice and bumper are OEM so they sould fit perfect but they dont.

    Just consider that you paid yourself $3600.00 for the labor then.

    If not less-- I spent ~$50 at pick n pull for a transmission, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel etc. I got the pedal assembly from one of my parts cars, but that wont cost you more than $15-20 anyway. Shift linkage might get tossed in with the tranny, and if not, it will cost $5. The driveshaft may be $20. So you are looking at about $100 in parts on the cheap.

    If you want to put in a new clutch kit, that'll run around $200 or so, and rebuilding the linkage with a short shifter will be about $100. So $400 with everything freshened.
