What a fun weekend!

Two rallies...friday night started at 10:38...ended sometime around 7am on
Saturday morning.  Ended up 16th in class, which was great, as our goal was to
break into the top twenty.

Saturday night started off even better...by the end end of the second leg we
were 12th overall (experts and novice) though, I'm not sure where that placed
us in class (novice). Average speeds were set high, especially considering the
rain and freezing (read, occasionally icy) conditions. It all turned ugly when
Mike and I came over a crest doing 65km/h...the road was solid ice from snow-
bank to snowbank, downhill with a turn at the bottom. An inch of water on top
make things so slick I couldn't even get the car sideways to pitch the whole
passanger side (of course!) against the snowbank at the bottom.  The car came
to rest on three stumps, up against a cedar tree.

The short list is this: front end - bumper, lights, grill, hood.  Suspension, 8
subframe bolts, rear subframe, RR control arm.

One of my dad's customers has a rear subframe and control arm for me.  But the
body pieces are a little bit of a problem.  The hood I can live with for
now...but I need a bumper re-bar and bumper cover. I'm in the process of
deciding on a custom grill/headlight setup...or going to stock.

Does anyone know any Southern Ontario wreckers/parts suppliers that I can call
for a bumper re-bar and cover?

What are my other options?  I'd go aftermarket with something else if I could
get it cheap enough...and then, there is the B4 hood option...but I think that
will be too much $$.
