Wow, thanks alot guys, you are fast.

A few months ago I was driving home and a 16 yr old in a Wrangler was stopped at a stop sign and pulled out in front of me. His fault, and my car was totalled, then bought it back for junkyard price( $300)

Got $2500 out of the deal though, and I bought a parts car about a week before so fixing was easy.

You get it painted after the repairs were done too?

BTW- I have a pic of how I had to trim my fan for the CP Racing strut bar.

Lees Summit is alittle South of Kansas City, I think its about a 2 hr drive, but I cant remember. I might drop by sometime, but Im always busy with work/school/football, so I dont think Id ever have time.

I'd more likely see you on a trip to KC w/ Russ or Chris. We roll up there every few months or so.

I've got similar damage to my car. How hard was it to repair? Was there anything structural damaged under the body? What parts did you end up having to replace?

No real strutural damage, had to replace fender, front bumper, headlight assembly, and I replaced the hood, but it wasnt needed, but easier with the spare parts.

Its pretty much unbolt, then rebolt. Pretty straight-forward. You might need to bang away at a few things to get the gaps rights.

Well, I didn't want to say anything to hurt your feelings, but for the love of crap, ditch the side decals.

Other than that, it's pretty good.

Its too much work to repaint over it, besides its kinda unique.

OH! It's different if its actually paint..

Still not to my tastes, but at least you did it right by painting rather than stickering..
