I just got my car back from Soutside Auto like three weeks ago and it was looking decent, and now I go off and screw it up again.....

Ah well, the **** I fixed before wasn't my fault, I bought it like that, but this is my first major fuckup in my car.... back it into a small brick sticking out of the wall in fronta my garage, trying to protect it from the rain.




Oh well, I'll be out racin tonite in my car with its new white accents....

Quoted as a $500 fix, $600 if they can't blend the paint and have to repaint whole panel...


So I SUCK!

Is the car the original Granada Black Pearl, or has it been redone in Flamenco Black Pearl?

The reason I ask is because in that pic the metallic looks more like Flamenco - I had my 1992 Si hatch redone in Flamenco, that's why I was asking also.

Sucks, but you'll get it fixed son hopefully, right?

I know all about bad luck with a car man...

 

Orginal Granada. Its a grayscratch from the paint on the bricks outside my house, just appears gray cause of that. The rest is white from under the paint... I'm dropping if off on Monday, should take a few days for the fix.

I have to nix getting window tint because of this, so that means another month of sweating my sac off with no A/C in a black hatch...

Ouch that sucks man. Good luck with the color matching.

 

Window tint won't help much, and when it starts to turn purple it will look more obvious on a black car.

Your car, but just letting you know, that's all.

 

If you get high quality tint it will resist turning purple.

 

I am, tint job would be $300 for the best one, warrantied against peeling, turning purple, and if someone breaks the window they'll replace for free... 50% heat reduction... oh well.


Yea, as you can tell theres a bit of rust under there. I had all that could be sandblasted out, then bondo added. It looked fine until today...

 

Looks a little bit better now, I'm gonna drive it like this for a while until I can get a lower quote on the work...

 

That sucks. BTW, you have that tire on backwards. The tread should push out, rather than pull in...

 

Thats it, its official, the guy who owned this car before me is a retard. And I'm an even bigger retard for buying it from him....

 

damn yoo got OWNED BAD

 

i know exactly how you feel.
