The "Fix Foxy's Car" meet

[Vanilla Sky]

As most of us know, one of our newer members has been in a crash. Her car appears to be repairable, but it will need some work to get it repaired.
currently, the car looks like this:



personally, i think it could be repairable. if a few of us could get together, i think we could do a lot in the way of getting the car back on the road. even just a few hours of work could very well leave foxy with a drivable car. currently, that's what i'm hoping for.
the meet would have to be on a wednesday or a thursday. tools will be provided, but bring your own if you wish.
now who's in? i'm thinking in january, maybe the first week or second. is this ok for any of you guys? i know there's a higher concentration of member in the southern end of FL, but i don't keep track of who's actually active.
let's get foxy's 3gee on the road again!

id help but im on the opposite corner of the country


also the c pillar looks tweeked...could just be the light tho

[ICEMAN707]

I think it would be cheaper to get another $500 3gee sedan shell and just transfer all the good parts off that car over to it. I'm sure there are plenty of 3geez in that junkyard still in good shape. These cars are so easy to take apart compared to doing all that body work.

BTW, those aluminum drive shafts sitting on that blue truck look like a great find for someone with a truck!

If you had a body shop do that, it would probably be at least $2000 in repairs. Unless that specific car has some sentimental value or something, you'd be better off with a new car. I had the two doors hit on that side of my car, estimates were about $1700. I didn't even have the rear quarterpanel hit, the c-pillar damaged, or the door completely bent. Not to mention on that car the suspension, and possibly the subframe where the lower control arm attaches could be screwed too.

Fortunately for me my dad is an auto-body guy, but materials were still about $500. Not to mention all the labor involved (it's a LOT of work). If you know somebody who is a professional that would donate ther time, you'd be out a lot less money.

i would first just replace the suspension area, and worry about the rest some other day

thats what we are going to be starting on Wed this week. I just called the insurance company and the car should be here this afternoon.

330 pm just got off the phone and the car will be here tomorrow

when you get the car, take some pics of the suspension for us. i have a body that has a clean title, but has a minimal amount of rust and needs paint. it's otherwise a clean car. i'm sure your BF could get you a shell pretty easily, though.

you got any pics of that one that you have with the clean title and what model is it

[ICEMAN707]

This is FL, I'm sure you can find a good rust-free shell around here somewhere. I know I find them in my nearby junkyard all the time. Makes me tempted to get a whole new shell for my 3gee project, but the one I have now is good. Just haven't been working on it since I started my Civic project.

Well the car is here now I going to be getting more detailed pics. I was just getting ready to do it when I realized my camera was dead. I will do it tomorrow.

i don't think you car repair it without extensive work done to the body. i call it scrap yard. she can keep it as a parts car and get another accord.

actually about 8 hours in to it so far and it is almost done. I am going to take more pics of it on sunday before we get back on it. My b/f went to school for this stuff and 250 dollars in tools last night has made a big difference. The suspension work is done. did not need much I only spent 15 dollars on that shit

[gosse]

Yes but i'm sure to bodys bend! look like the c pillar and backend has some bends, think its gonna go in a bench so it can be lined up properly..
I would buy another one you know is straight...
(it more easy to) :0)

just asked my b/f about that c pillar and he said that it is not bent.

[gosse]

ok, it does in the pictures.. But in denmark they are completely brain dead with cars!! like its a fucking space shuttle... But i think i my mind the big bend i has is very tricky to make nice without tons of bondo... many curves and stuff. But still, i would think its bended in the body... looks like a nasty hit..

[Foxy3GLXI]

yeah I would get a new car but after everything like my insurance deductable and my rental car I really have nothing let to get another car right now. I am mad that she did not have any type of car insurance but I am going to be taking her to court for my injuries and my out of pocket expences for my physical therapy and last but not leat my 1000 $ deductable.

[gosse]

Ok can you just drive around i us without insurance!!???! its like that mental idea that its always your nabour that crashes..!!! silly.. yeear let her pay..
the repair were just to make it driverable....

[Vanilla Sky]

i have a DX that you can buy from me. it has some rust in a very fixable area, will need new paint, and will need the interior swapped. it's a decent shell, and i'm willing to let it go CHEAP.

[Vanilla Sky]

her boyfriend works in a junkyard, so she has the resources to get a body, it's getting a titled body that's a problem.
