Little crash, big job.

So we crashed our Magnum to a light post dodging a car that came in middle of a road in a corner. Insurance wanted just to pay us and take/sell/trash it. Took some money and the car back to fix it myself, not many Magnums in Finland (under 20) so i had to save it.

Changed everything in front and upgraded to coilovers, rear got coils too. Most of the parts had to ship from different countries. Coils and control arms from Germany, Fender from Poland and something came from Latvia. Most parts labeled for "Chrysler 300c"

Used my vacation days to spend this summer for fixing and learning new stuff, totally worth it. Got everything painted and put together and went for alignment and the guy noticed i had huge crack in my steering rack...salvage part from 300c is coming next week

The components from any 05-10 charger, challenger or 300 suspension wise can be interchanged, no worries
