As long as the frame isn't touched. What color is your car?

 

well actualy its the Burn Out Kit that was re produced by shine auto project. and actualy the part where the head lights bolt up got bent back a bit but im should be able to bring it back to its original sape since its not too bad...

 

it was black, and i was gonna re paint it black

 

wow man, im speechless...At least your made it out in one peice.

 

your ast( pictured) is browning in color that means its about to burst on you soon..........PLEASE replace asap before over heat

 

Holy ****, i didn't notice that . . . .

REPLACE YOUR AST!!!!

 

thanx, and i am greatfull for that, and the damage to my car could have been way worse...

i know i know, its actualy a second one, my last one did burst and a friend gave this one to me to hold me over, i dont have to wory about it for a while tho sine i wont be drivin my car any time soon...

 

a month and no progress tryin to make some $$$ i wish i had some sort of an update but u cant expect much from a poor college student...

 

car was lookin real nice man, before the deer hit.

And i hear you on the college student part of it :P

good luck with the fix, show some pics when it's done. oh and i can't wait to see some new rims on there, if you plan on getting any.

 

thanx, well to top it off i think i may have blown my engine... i was planing on a rebuild any way but just not right now as for the rims, unless i win the lotto they wont be here for a while...

 

Damn! How did that happen? Man, you just keeping runnin' into a lot of problems. That really sucks. Hope you get this project finished sometime soon. I can't wait to see it myself. I LOVE the whole burnout kit so I can't wait to see what your car will look like. Keep us posted.

 

well since it was sitting for a week or 2 i decided to start up and get the fluids moving and i wanted to take it for a test drive so i went out as i was returning home and my car starts buckin and back fireing and as it is bucking the check engine light is coming on and off... final the car didnt even have enought power to move and when i shut the engine off i heard a whining noise and after a few sec the noise went away...

 

damn, you think you lost an apex or what? have you done a compression check?
sorry about your car, but dont loose hope, ive been right where you are before, and im still fixing stuff on my car 1year after, IM NERVER GONNA GIVE UP my motor blew a coolantseal a couple of months ago so i have lots of work ahead of me this winter,
start saving money and do everything right, she will come back as the most beautifull beat on the street

 

thank you, thats what i plan to do and ive already invested too much time and money into this car to give up now... i have done a compression check yet but i plan on doin it this week some time... hope everything goes well with your porject too!

 

well two months and still not much progress, i took the dr side wheel off to try and start to bend the head light bracket back and apparently when the bracket was pused back from the impact it pushed my wiring harness onto the wheel and when i drove it home and took it for a few runs around my neiborhood the wheel had been incontact w/ the wiring harness and messed it up. so there are about 10-15 wires exposed and touching each other so i have to fix that too now, one can only wonder if those wires grounding out may have messed my engine up... pics later.

 

Keeeeeeeeeep your fingers crossed!

you'll come out okay, don't lose hope!

 

damn, I'm really sorry to see this happen to you. I just read this thread today and like you, and the others, was getting all excited coming up on the last couple of pages. Stick to it bro, I feel your pain on the finances and how **** rolls down hill. but hey, all the bad crap has happened, the monsoon is over. Blue sky should be heading your way now. Best of luck with finishing this, I'm looking forward to it, especially since your doing it yourself, damn...Nice work! ! !

 

Man that sucks bad. I was following this a few months ago, but just saw it agian and checked back. I can't believe that happened. Sorry buddy, but stick with it. It will get better.

Goodluck,

Hey bro sorry about ur car, but just a couple quick questions about the quality of the kit, did it have any ripples or waves on the actual pieces any work needed to be done to any of the parts before primer, like any bog work apart from preping them for the primer im looking to buy I dont want to pay all this money and have to spend more money getting them to look mint.
Urs was lookin pretty sexy aye but pics dont do justice so just wanna know first hand cheers.

 

thanks guys for all the kind words, still dont have much money but im hopeing to get my real estate license soon and hopefully make some good dough but untill then she is still sitting in my garage.

arman- the kit is of great quality and i will always purchase products from shine be cause they are such a great company, the kit needed almost no work except the rear flares and there were no waves either.

 

sup bro? its been a while! still no progress huh? yup, same here.
