Wow! I think your car is coming along quicker than mine. I went to the body shop today and it doesn't look like they did much. I doubt it'll be finished in the quoted time frame. Wish I could document repairs and share with you guys too.

Do the 1/4 mile before to put the rear end back on. You should be like the sport compact car issues where they stripped the sentra. .. seriously though, I'm glad you have help from friends!!!!

Suprise Butt Sex doesn't always end well for the recipient. That looks painful. Hope it looks as good as new when done.

I think that bumper being so mangled makes it look WAYYY worse than it actually is.

Im glad you're repairing it, good luck and keep updating the thread with pics of the repairs

That must be nice. I have a friends dad also that has a body shop. His work is suppose to be awesome. I would have gone there, but i wouldnt get to have the motor and drive train looked over
if I did. So peice of mind is worth a little more to me.
