I bought the car crashed " totaled by ins" as a parts car but rebuilt it...
When i got her....

..and you guys thought it was a coincidence that CW is about the same color as Bondo!

j/k, glad to see you've recovered from dropping that car on your head (almost).

ninja-on-speed edit: Hey Rene, can you bring that magic hammer up here and fix my Prelude? It's a little "bendy".
