Back from the dead!
Thursday, April 08, 2010 10:29 AM
Ok well If you didn't know what happened to my car then click here
http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=59&i=10618&t=10618

It was in the body shop for two weeks, I got it back a couple weeks ago but haven't took pics until yesterday so now I'm making a back from the dead topic.
I got some good used 00-02 headlights and corners from Ben (ecoclean) and decided to paint them satin black and they turned out better than what I expected. Was gonna take the corners apart and paint them also but didn't wanna put them in the oven, So they are still stock for now.

I know I need a front lip so don't start. I wanted the ls sport front bumper because it is in fact an ls sport but know one had them in stock, so I just went with the base bumper for now just so I could get it back on the road. I know its not perfect but I still love it the same now as I did before.

But without further notice here are the before and after pics. Any questions and constructive criticism welcome.

Thanks guys!
Yeah I am VERY happy with the body work I was in aww when the panels was on I was there like every couple days looking at it getting updates. Awesome guy. You can't really tell unless you are really looking. I got a whole front clip welded on because the other was done...lol

When I looked at it after he just got done spraying it,without wet sanding and buffing the paint looked sooo nice almost like arival blue or something. But after the wet sand and buff it looked alot darker, and matched up perfect to to factory paint .
It is blended about halfway down the door.
I don't think the engine was pushed back but the muffler was a little crooked from the wreck.
I'm so happy to be back in it. I was driving a b20 hatch for awhile while it was down and a 02 Indigo blue cav base 2200 5-speed. Still got the cav It was gonna be the swap car, but I ended up just fixing it and drove it and put the other in the shop.
I might post pics of when it was in the shop If you all would wanna see a cavalier with primer hood,fender,bumper...
haha
Got pics of where they welded at and all that good stuff.
Just hate dealing with photo bucket downloading a single pic at a time.
