well, for sure i'm going to keep it, it just that i never have done any body work on cars so i don't know how to fix body damage and paint

 

 

dang. at least your wheels are ok... wonder if that has some mild frame damage.

 

get that fender off, get a new bracket that goes by the headlight, and get to work on that ****

 

my and my buddy are going to start on it soon. my insurance company is only giving me 1100 to fix the damage

 

does it look like it has frame damage?

 

well so far it doesnt look like major damage... i doubt theres frame damamge...but. you wont be able to really tell till you remove the fender and bumper

 

btw if you need a headlight + motor/bracket for the head light. let me know.. you can have it from my old parts car

 

coo! i'll hit you up if i need one then. Thanks!

 

word, sho

 

oh **** I remember this car. I believe I sold you a undertray a while back. it was CLEAN and you had a nice corvette too if I remember right. but yeah damage doesn't look too bad. new fender and bumper probably going to run you like 100-150 on this forum+ so you got ~1k for paint or whatever.

 

ya, you sold me that undertray. Ya, i'm going to shineautoproject to get that bumper again, then just have to find a fender that local.

 

The real challenge will be to get the paint to match. A 1st Class painter is where you'll want to direct as much of that $1100 as available for that reason.

 

that bumper is fixable.....dont toss it

 

yeah. if your gonna toss it toss it my way :P

 

It is fixable, but i don't want to fix it because something made a small hole in it. So i have to get another one. don't want to spot weld it

 

you can rebuild her make her stronger, faster give her the power to rip them damn cabs apart

 

Make sure you give the insurance company all the info the want so the cab guy's insurance pays not yours. If you just want to be able to drive again, you can unbolt the fender and pop that dent right back out with a wide blunt object, maybe even just push it out with your hand. It'll look like an aluminum can where you dent it and push it back, but at least you can drive until it's fixed. But don't do anything until you're 100% sure the insurance folks don't need to look at it any more.

 

how the hell do you spot weld fiber glass?

 

Do a barrel roll.

 

I'm not spot welding the fiberglass, it the front clip of the car i'm doing that too. It got pushed in a bit.

 

also, my insurance is not paying for this, the other people will. i just found out not too long ago
