She's Back...

After my little diddy at the three sister's several weeks ago...she is back in action!

If you are in Texas and need body work done...Berli's in Pflugerville is THE place to go. They are pricey, but damn they do good work.

At the scene of the accident followed by the same general angle after getting fixed...

LOL. Just like Ricky Bobby I gotta get my ***** back! Since I have a track I can go to, I may not do one of those runs in a LONG time! Gotta give it time to leave my system.

Yeah...better than new! LOL.

The whole left side is new panels...plus the front bumper cover...I had them remove the rock chips and repaint the hood...I had them remove a ding on the passenger door while they were at it...by the time they blended everything basically 3/4 of the car is painted new.

The suspension took a hit so that had to all be replaced...both left side wheels were re-powder coated and the tires were replaced.

Alot of work and they did a great job...I highly recommend Berli's.

Nice car, glad to see you got it fixed.

Moved thread to General Automotive (this isn't a RX8).

I can vouch for Berli's, if I didn't personally know the people at Rebreu (have known several people there for years, including the body techs etc.) I'd be going there as well
