Tommy. Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is he paying for the repairs? That sucks I let my friend drive my car last night, and he slid in the snow accidentally hit a concrete light post. Nemo 1, Andy 0. The bumper and the hood don't look so great, but its not the end of the world. My friend and I are both ok, no airbags deployed, no major damage to the car, and it still runs fine. He's paying for parts, I'm doing the work, and I don't depend on my car while I'm at school, so I'm not too upset about it. Shit happens, just gotta fix it and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually had to replace his turbo this summer, so I think I'm safe for now.Got everything put back together today, after spending some time fixing the front edge/right corner of the passenger side frame rail, everything bolted right up first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Got a new hood today, drove up to NH to grab it for $50 with grille included. I even averaged 30.2 mpg for the ~200ish mile round trip at about 55-65 mph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyb5 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Glad to see that you're making progress on getting it restored! Thanks. All that's left is to do is clean up the front bumper a bit. I have a few additional things I'll do at the same time, so I'm not too worried about it.
