update on my car

as some of you may know my car was hit about 2 months ago. it needs a new quarter panel, so im going to repaint the whole car. i have the quarterand i just got a bumper today, so the car will be going to my friends body shop within the next week or two. here are some pics. enjoy.

heres the damage of the accident


heres a pic of the interior. the passenger side interior is all out along with the door panels.


heres some small pieces that needed to be sanded and some filler was applied.


heres the body. i used to have nasty dings in the door. thanks to body filler, i don't have any more dings.


here the car is after final sanding before primer. i had to get all scratches and chips out.


here are the last couple pics. i was out priming the car at 9:30 pm last night.

One word of advice, as witnessed from a friends dad. Do not paint outside with flood lights. Bugs like the light and cannot get away from the paint when stuck.

Looks like it's coming right along though.
