Hello everyone,
Let me give you a little history about this car, I recently bought it from a guy for 1k, it had a hit on the passenger side door to the point where the door couldn't open. But everything else worked fine on the car.

At the time I thought it was a good deal and I wanted the challenge, so I bought it and started doing the body repair at my house. Due to the weather things is moving a little bit slower than anticipated, however, I just built a tent outside and have an awesome heater that takes care of the extra cold weather.

I will update this thread with progress and pictures to match as time goes by...

Before


After


Currently (12/22/13 Work)

 

Just an update, I ordered the back & front lips (after market) and the fog lights also. I also sent the car to maaco to get a proper paint job (fingers crossed)

Pictures coming soon...

 

Got the car from Maaco yesterday, they did a pretty good job. Now I'm waiting on the lips, rims and fog lights..

 

not bad, how much was the maaco job?

 

Yeah Thanks, for the reviews I got. I thought it would be garbage, it can work with until I decide to paint it myself. and I paid 224 with Tax...

 

That's a pretty good job, to you?

 

I don't understand your question because of the "comma." But yes, I think it's pretty decent for the price I paid. It's not "oh wow" perfect, but its "ok."

 

for 224$ that's ok,.. lol

 

Paint job looks good for under 300 bucks, I do believe I would have spent more time on that repair job, as you can still visibly see the damaged area. and had them spray the side moldings/door handles, etc while I was getting it painted. but coming along nicely.

 

Thank you... Yeah, the weather kind of threw me off, hopefully in the summer time I will have the time to get it where I reallly need it to be. I will also be getting the strips painted by them, along with the rear + front lips I bought.

 

Not horrible, but I would definitely take it to a proper shop next time. Get a quote from shops in your area, and see samples of their work. Maaco is hit or miss so I wouldn't go back because the job could be poor next time.

 

Paint looks really good for being maaco

 

Yeah, thanks man. More pictures coming soon, taking off the tints, put the lips onn an painting the other strips...
