Busy couple days for my Camry, workwise.

Yesterday: Window fixed, the edge of the molding was sticking up
Exhaust patched up, at both bends in the center of the car

Today: Left headlight housing replaced, wheel adapters put on along
with my new rims.

Original housing had what looked to be a bb sized hole in it, and was damp and yellowing on the inside. I picked up a replacement housing from Ace Auto Salvage and threw it in about 2 hours. (took so long because it seemed like every friggen screw holding the light in was stripped.

I cant believe how much of the car has to come apart just to take the housing out.

Heres what i mean:



and the finished product:


The Wheel Adapters:



The Exhaust Patch & Window Fix:



The Rims & Some Shots:

Had to roll the fenders btw, the inner fender molding was scraping the meat edge of the tire and started carving out the sidewall.. lucky i caught it before it popped a tire.

17x7.5 Konig's, tires are 215/40ZR's Nitto's

We took a hammer to the inner fender well, and held a hammer on the outer as we hit the inner, so it would be even.
