It has the ABS light in the cluster, which seems to be uncommon, but definitely does NOT have ABS. I know because I had to break suddenly before a left turn at a stoplight (long story short, I thought I had time to go during an unprotected left but a speeding driver shot by), and my wheels definitely locked right up, even got some smoke. So no ABS, but the ABS light is on my cluster.

Anyhow, I get home on Sunday and have like 5 people coming to see my EJ1. One of 'em is bound to buy it, and then I will have the cash to get the new core support/bumper bar and hood, and it'll be time to make her look 100% right again =)

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Today I made a trip to the local U-Pull and picked up a new bumper support. Bolted it on, and after a bit of pulling and pushing with the bumper, this was the result:





Before/After:



The core support now needs to get pulled out on a frame machine, hopefully I can get that done as soon as I sell my EJ1. I have a new bumper hanging out back at my apartment at Uni, and I have a hood lined up and will get some headlights from a guy on H-T. The grill's bottom brackets (the ones that connect to screws on the bumper) are ALL broken, so it's being held on by the two lateral screws and the arms that snap on the bottom. it holds on well, just not perfect. I'll pick up a new one when I see a deal on one.

Hoping to have it looking perfect before summer rolls around in full force, we'll see! =)
