i bought a wrecked 04 chevy cavalier that had 32k on ls sport coupe the passenger side both front and back tires and rims were ripped off and minimal body work was needed i picked it up for around $3,800.
Have some plans for it the first thing is to get the body work done then paint.













here is us fixing the body and getting it straight. after pulling the @!#$ out of the sheet metal to get it straight first.


next is rims and tires then lowering it with tein coilovers

wow 3800 for a wrecked car is pretty steep you could have bought one ready to drive for that by me...(btw i didnt even wait for pics to see how bad but you said pulling the sheet metal so i was done there lol)

now with the car finished besides where some @!#$ retard kicked the door handle on the passenger side in right after i got it done.
going to fix that this summer and paint the whole car white.
hopefully if all goes good i will have my tein coilovers and my front and rear sway-bars in this summer as well.

Good work!!

I agree with the price being a lil steep for needing that much body work, but hey, as long as you are happy. You did a nice job with the problem areas!

Single side molding needs to go tho, haha.

really it dont have that much on it we got the metal work pretty straight to where all i did was sand the highs off with little mud left up by the tail light where the bumper and quarter meet is were the most is but i am fixing that this summer i just had to get it done before winter now that summer is here i can finally do it up the way i really want it.
i am going to paint it white and lower it 2.5 in the rear and 1.75 in the front also getting wheel spacers for the rear to bring the rear tires out to the body line to give it a sleeker look.
