Closing the gap, other pics. (12 pics)
Monday, July 04, 2005 6:43 AM
Well I finally got around to fixing my bumper gap. I took the whole front end off, and attached the fender and the bumper together, and put the whole front on as a whole, and what a PITA that was. I'll spare you the details, but basically, measure twice drill once... And I got rear ended on the HIGHWAY, $1800 in damage, which has not been fixed cuz the girl that hit me's insurance (Nation Wide [SUCKS]) took 2 weeks to return my call to get my car appraised. And I hit a racoon on the highway going 80ish, and did a good number on my Combat front ... Anyways pics

BEFORE Fender Gap


After Fender gap (kinda fuzzy, damn coffee)







My poor bumper, after 2 hours of surgery.


Then later in the week, another couple hours of sanding and cover up paint.


The aftermath of what happens when 2 girls are on their cell phones, BOTH looking in the back seat that can't hear a car that sounds like a 747 flying over right in front of them can do to my car.



My incomplete exhaust



What she looks like as of now


Can't wait to go to the bash!! See some of you there.

that rear quarter does look kinda bad. idk how well they can bang that out. so glad mine was able to be fixed. good luck with the car and the fitment/dent issues.

$1800 in damage, hopefully going to get a check for $2000+, the quarter is going to get replaced most likely, I should have gotten a pic of where the frame kinked up, but didn't feel lik jacking up my car. The bumper would be an easier fix but there are a ton of angles, and it had 3 complete breaks on the left side. It fits great, I just had to take the whole front end off to actually make it fit the way its suppose to. Oh and I'm getting 2.25" stainless custom bent, with a magnaflow muffler. I'm not going to go with just a glasspack lol.
