Because its hard to get a del sol here that has no rust etc. Mine was in mint condition only had 130k on it no rust etc. I am changing shops prob the guys just want to make money because insurance is paying for it

it looks like theres a slight gap in between your hood unless your hood is popped.
good job though!

looks good, but still has frame damage.
does it look good under the hood?
did you report it to your insurance or did you pay the $1500?

over here where i live you could fix your car with less than 1000 buck just cross the border into Mexicali (mexico) and take it to a shop. they do awesome jobs for a fraction of the cost. i dont know how you guys do it paying thousands of dollars. my paint job only cost me 6000 PESOS wich is like 560 DOLLARS!!! here are some pics of my hatch when i fist bought it. and after i took it to the shop in mexico....

after:






after i put some jdm goodies
