I paid $300 for my whole car, wrecked.
You did a great repair job!

I've eventually gotten a new hood, too.
Bummer part is that I cannot rattle can a decent paint job onto the hood I got. I've rattle canned my rear bumper, front driver fender and I will also the newer nose (from red to beige) and gas cap door assembly, too.

The guy without the shirt is me.... I am into power lifting....I finished my end before my buddy John finished his.


The car is alive.. Tommrow I drive it to work.. Now my wife wants it painted ASAP. She can not stand the two colors, to white trash for her so that is fine with me.. A new paint job even sooner...

It is not done yet... I am fixing the rear main seal, but I still have crappy AC... I need that and paint and it might be around to get it's header installed and some NO2...

It was very rewarding to do it... There is still a little aliging of the hood a body shop needs to do, but otherwise it is straight, drives straight, runs good.

This saturday I will fix the oil leaks, main seal and pan. Then comes the AC, then I will install the headers and look into NOS.. I want to run no more than 15.0 this winter. I may go for the cam and 4.10's too or instead of.
