i was thinking of maybe cutting out a sheet of plexi glass or maybe aluminum to overlap onto the fender liners on each side and the front bumper mounting points.

i'm not too sure on the back mounts maybe attach to the two bolts that hold the protective screen in front of condenser?

feel free to give me more ideas

if anyone is interested I ran into another problem....the suspension seems like the fork lift that got the car onto trailer damaged both rear control arms, additionally the front left hub had a shattered bearing, and bent knuckle

yeah i got really lucky and bought the car for 4k and then about 4k for parts, labor, and paint.

also don't forget the insurance, gas etc.

along with no warranty support for it what so ever you would be taking a huge gamble

i guess you could go under your parent's insurance like me but gas would be a different story
