Nah man you'll be fine, we get cars hit harder than that at my work all the time just make sure you send it to the right people

Took the belt off and fired it up again. The odd noise is gone so now I know its not the motor. Kind of idles real low but with everything wrong Im sure thats the reason.

Started taking apart the hub assembly. Got new upper and lower control arms. New ball joints etc. To put in. Torque arm is in now. Everything out back looks to be pretty square. Gonna bring home the alignment equiptment and check it all.

Not too much to report in but Im slowly pecking at it. Goal is to have the car at my house garage in two weeks where Ill take off the old fender and door.

nice!!! low idle with belt on alt or off?

Seemed low last week and today. Like 650 rpm with the clutch in and like 500 in neutral. I ran it today with no belt on but I had it jumped to another car the whole time so it was seeing 14v ish. Gonna try and charge the battery for good and see how it goes. Could also use some fresh gas and such.
