Progress on my beloved FC (pics)
well i decided to post some of the pics i got from the accidently and so fourth....
first day purchased after a good cleaning
about a week later with new rims and tired (no longer have)
a pic with the new lighting and front nose painted
after a slight hit to a tree from stupidity
all that was fixed car was looking good after a day with a few friends trying to locate some kind of JDM meet at dolphin mall i had a guy cut me off
im still waiting on the insurance check as theyve been saying its in the mail but until then right now im doing everything out of pocket.... so i guess when i get the check i can pocket it...
and here is where i am now in the process
i forgot to take pics of the actualy stuff that was dmged but no frame damage just the 2 little metal bars that hold that metal thing in front of the radiator support it had shifted about 2 1/2 inches in parts alone would of cost me about $400 to $500 thats not including the front bumper so i purchased a parts car for $100
and here is my body guy tach welding some flimsy piece of metal back on with the new headlight in place and aligned...
and heres a pic with the whole front end complete and ready to be put back together so the car and get repainted...
and thats about it guys hopefully that insurance check comes in soon so i can purchase the paint and clear...
let me know what you guys think so far..
Thanks

That's just south Florida for you. When I had my RX-7, I got hit twice, and spun out once during a horrible rain storm. Then I smashed into a drunk redlight runner shortly after that.
keep up the good work.

Just saying, but how much would he charge to paint my hood, I know he would have to paint my fenders so it would blend.
I have a spare NA aluminum hood in a dark blue and my car is red.

A just got my whole clutch redone (master, slave cylinder pressure plate etc etc.) and a new radiator and fan for moroso next week. so I could throw you a price but it would be low, so i wont even bother.
