Wrecked FD repair process, update II
Check it out guys. I just got the car back from the paint shop. It still needs a lot of reassembly but you might be able to tell it came out AWESOME. The paint is flawless, the body is perfectly straight. The only bondo used was to fix a few door ding sized dings in the hood and fenders.
If your interested on seeing some pics that give a rough idea on what it takes to "reconstruct" a wrecked FD the right way follow this link. It might take a few minutes for the pics to load. http://community.webshots.com/album/69912816VsRYvb Oh and these pics were taken before I washed it. It was covered with dust from the bodyshop. After I washed it the paint turned was even more glossy. Jeff The FD saver |

Great job, Jeff. That pic of the frame rail is scary....
The FD world owes you for restoring another one on the road! |
Very nicely done. I'm shure it'll look flawless when you're done. CJ

Looks great.

looks good. there are those that fix a car and those that do it right. i know VA just passed a law that any car with a rebuilt/salvage title can never get the car inspected to recieve a "good" title, it will always be branded. i understand why the law was done, because most ppl do a poor job. my bodyman has put together at least 5 3rd gens for a area dealer. he is good, really is amazing to see the transformation in person by a person who does it right.

keep up the great work.. looks great :)

I love the crutch holding the hood up! But seriously, you're an FD god, well done man.
