I hope to god when you say you filled holes, you didn't go and bondo a bunch of screw holes in the engine bay, sounds like a great way to have the bare threads rust out (being in the northeast) when water inevitably gets in from the back. It might make more sense to just paint them to seal them, so when you have things to mount you'll have a place to mount them.
I never even said i filled the holes, i said i was going to. And just because im young does not mean i don't know how to approach things. I plan to weld a bead and sand it down to prep for paint.

About the suspension, my bad for not explaing well enough. I meant as in upgrade wise and what NEEDS to be taken care of. I plan to re do my whole suspension like control arms, etc with quality parts. Sorry that my build is not at a fast pace as i attend high school. Im working on the suspension as soon as i can.
