Man that looks painful! Your poor car got it brutalized... I hope the repair looks as good as original.

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
