Default Finally! It got here now I can get started

Well a while ago I got into a fender bender and mashed up my front end. So I ordered a new one from Passwordjdm and it finally arrived today. Time to get started.

What it looked like after the accident


New front end



and another




Updates 6-13-06

Well I got some time today so I got this new front end fitted and almost ready to be welded on.







Updates 6-15-06

Well Last night and today were very productive, I got a whole lot done on my car. Lastnight I picked up a truck and trailer to haul my car to get the welding done on it. So I spent all last night working and making sure everything was linded up. My dad said he had a buddy that was helping him build his plane, and he was more than happy to give me a hand, I just had to get my ride down to his hanger. So on with the pics.

Got the bay sprayed today and finishing up tomorrow, just ran out of daylight.



And that's all for now folks. When I get more work done I'll update.
