Well i have some bad news. As odd as it is my exgfs husband backed out of their driveway, and turned not noticing my car was there 0.0, and clipped my front door a little, rear door, and rear lower quarter. Ripped a piece of molding off and i think dented it in pretty good. So we didnt want to fool with the insurance companies yet cause they already have a lot on their plate and im a nice guy. Im gonna go get quotes tomorrow from some body shops and see what I can do about the damage. If we can take care of it that was ill be happy, but if its too much for em to handle i guess well have to turn it in to insurance. I know the bodys shops cant color match paint to a 20 year+ car so, im guessing rear door at least will have to be painted. I didnt want to fool with the appearance until I did all the engine work...but im taking this a a push in that direction. Who knows maybe it was fate. Anyway looking on the bright side Ill try to get pics and stuff tomorrow as well as some idea how much moolah it will cost.

I know this I will need maybe 3 pieces of molding. But gotta get quotes and all that good stuff before I even start fixing it.

man if that was me things wouldnt be pretty. That sucks man

[mushroom_toy]

Didnt get pics today but I will. I got some estimates, and I gave them the low estimate of $1100. Im so glad im dealing with people I know and that they are true to their word.

Truth is Tim its mostly slight surface damage. Only 1 dent from the accident so it wouldnt be any mre to let someone else do it. im seeing if Bucky wont do it for me, but who knows.

Cutting off the plenum and using the runners I am guessing.

[mushroom_toy]

Ding ding.

[Rendon LX-i]

ITBS? man thats going to be some serious work shroom. should of used a b16 but maybe that will work also.

[mushroom_toy]

^same thing pretty much.

[Rendon LX-i]

so im guessing that your giong to cut up half way up in the runners? Then do some magic i guess. Cant wait man to see it.

[mushroom_toy]

Actually Im gonna be cutting at about an inch after the fuel injector holes, and welding runner on it. Gotta get my tbs first though so I can figure spacing.
