Ok...I'm not happy with my teg...love it...but not happy with it

Bought a 96 DB8... today on the way... tranny takes a crap... looking like the clutch... I HOPE!!.... got this weird creaking in the right rear suspension area...happened after I put some Teins in...so thought it was the spring perches or something... upon further investigation... I follow the lower control arm to the point where it mounts to the chassis...I guess it's called the cross member...where they meet... is bent forward half an inch... like the previous owner back it up into a parking block or something...so now...i need a clutch..and I gotta fix that cross member...wanted to get a 98 front end...or even financially braving a JDM front end...but this going to set me back...cant tel the wife everything...cuz she'll trip out about me buying a used car...

 

sorry man
if the clutch is fucked up then that sucks
IMO fix all the problems on the car 1st and then worry aabout mods
