So, Sat I got some time and a neighbor to do some welding for me. So hopefully it'll be put back together just with a funky paint job

I guess I need to start thinking about a paint scheme, thinkin about either white, black, or red. Opinions?

Doesnt insurance cover it for you?
I just recently hit a deer and they called it an act of god, Im not liable. I have to pay my deductable ($250). My car went into the body shop today.

It broke my headlight, bent my hood up, Not as bad as yours. cracked my bumper and bent driver side fender.

I don't think insurance will cover it b/c for some unknown reason I decided to go with liability only

Anyways has some time this afternoon to at least put on the fender.


Got some1 to replace the mangled headlight braket/ac support/radiator support on Sat

UPDATE

Got all the pieces on it today, still not perfect, but close enough for now. Seems like its just the hood that isn't lining up properly.

And I know what everyone is goin to say about the headlights, but I like em and thats all that matters, right?
