Thanks, at first I had second thoughts about the headlights but after I seen them painted I got hooked on them.
The hood is the stock hood, I just cut the holes out in between the ribbing.
The headlights are not Eastbear just some cheap halo lights fitted / preped and painted.

how do you like these headlights and hood ?

Just got back from the MPI auction and there is a new owner of this FD for $6400. ....... good luck to the buyer and hope to see it on the road next spring . There was too much damage for my wallet.

keep us updated if you are on the board.

You're not the only one getting screwed by MPI, they wanna write off my FC. Somehow they managed to "find" $6300 of damage, if i would replace the hood and put the headlights down, you wouldn't even know it was in an accident!!!!!
I F****** HATE MPI!!!!

But yeah i have an 87 GXL, but i'm not from winnipeg, closer to steinbach. I know theres a couple FC's there too.

i didn't buy or own it ..... the 6400$ was what it was bought at the MPI auction for by somebody ... i also heard that the last owner got close to a 14,000$ MPI pay out on it though ..... pretty surpising considering the "book" value was 8000$ when I phoned GG mazda to check on its value. .... a 88 FC that had some damage in the front was also bought for about 800$

UnSeen24-7, MPI should have a buy back option. I.E. if they deem your car written off, you can choose to fix it yourself and MPI will cut you a cheque instead paying for the repairs. You get to keep your car in whatever condition it is in and get a chunk of change for the damages. If they take the car they will give you a bigger cheque. This happen to my old Mustang in the 96 hail storm. It wasn't badly damaged, just pock marks on the upper surfaces, but since it was an older car it wasn't really worth it for them to fix. I was sick of that car, and didn't care, so I took the car as is and the $700 dollars they offered me. The repairs would have cost me more than $700, but I was happier with the money then having a pretty Mustang that was still worthless. If you think you can fix it for cheap ask them about the buy back option.

I am buying it back, for $1k. I just hate how MPI thinks they're doing me a favor.
