Just found something terrible...

We just had a huge hail storm, and so I went outside to check for hail damage on the cars, and I step out the front door and the first thing I see is my project -SE:







An obvious act of vandalism considering the shoe prints on each dent...





Now the question, call the cops and persue finding out who done it and then spend a crazy amount of $$$ getting it fixed? Or strip the body and take it to the yard and maybe someday start another resteration?

Less work getting the dents fixed than stripping and transferring parts. Any decent body shop can pull or push those dents. Who have you pissed off lately? I'd be looking to put the hurt on somebody for that kind of petty bs.

Well, I guess I'll start looking around at prices etc.

Just found out who it was. My supposed friend, when asked why, he said "'cause I was mad at you".

Yesterday he walked in on something, so I told him in a semi-upset, but not yelling voice, to knock next time...so he puts 2 dents in my car? Pretty messed up...

first off, kick his ***.

secondly, why would you scrap the car over that? thats rediculous. its not that bad. you could fix those for relatively cheap or you could pursue the project and fix visual damage on down the road.

I would tell your 'friend' that either he pays for the repair or the police will get a call. Then find a new friend, who needs any as immature as him.

That's a definite.


Well, it needs an entire new interior, and a few other things. But the body was straight, so this is just another thing that would need fixing. Annnd it could be an excuse to put -SE suspension under my GS. Just trying to look at my options/the bright side of things.

Tomorrow I'll give him a call and ask him what he's going to do about it. Depending on what he says I'll persue those two routs.

Known the guy for 15 years now, and now he pulls something like this...

Wow, I would snap... Make him pay for it or call the police...

No Jon, you always garage your car because its your parents.

Anyway. Beat his ***. Make him pay for the damages. **** his girl. **** his mom. **** his sister if he has one. Video tape it all. Sell it on a website. Make it good. Turn a profit. Should be fun.

First thing you do is to go down to local store. Ask the guy at the counter for a case of "WhoopAss". While your there ask if they have tallboys of "whoopass". **** I've been know to find select places that even sell Kegs of it!

How old is this ex-friend of yours? This sounds like the work of either a 10-year-old who's had no discipline in his life or a young punk kid who also has had no discipline nor a brainstem.

Oh yes, and why don't you just sit back, take a deep breath, relax, grab your tire iron, meet your ex-friend and "iron" a few things out with him?

Funny stuff you got caught sticking his girl, but if you know who it is, make him pay for all the damages. End of story.

That's fucked up man. But at least it was the project SE and not the gorgeous GS. Yeah, either he pays damages or police get's involed and he'll still have to pay damages and more. after it's all settled, beat his ***

hm...

hey bro... why does your friend think ur a *****? Did he think hed get away with it. So far he has. Well, it makes me a little upset to think one of my friends would try that. Plus, like they mentioned before... its black, and an se. Fix the dents guy. If your friend dont pay u for some crazy reason... it should be easier than your other option.
