death of a ricer...birth of an rs

[urabusturbo]

this^ I have used that trick on my current DD twice now and have done it to a few cars in the past. I bet you can straighten all that out no problem

winch is more precise

It works great on rally cars.

Plus he Matt works 10min from my house.

I say you bang it all out and use one of these to cover up the worst of it till spring:

Go rent a porta power, MUCH more precise.

 

[Pedro]

less fun though.

 

[Nigel Prodrive]

Still fun, rough it back to shape w/PP, then have a blast w/body hammers to get it just so. Very theraputic.

 

[Pedro]

true.

 

[Matt]

well, I figure ill just collect all the money and do all the work myself, half the bill is labor and the rest parts, 2600!!! I know I can source parts for cheaper and then just have my body shop do the paint and rust repair plus I want to change up the color to somethig special.....so well see monday

Maybe I don't understand completely how full coverage insurance works... But if you crash your own car, totally your fault, how do you collect money on it?

I can see if someone hits your car, they owe you the money for damages.

Comprehensive

Liability

 

[Matt]

its all about what they really know...lol I pay for full coverage so im taking full advantage for what I pay for.

 

[Matt]

Well just had the meeting with Portland collision and a geico rep. They quoted 4600 so with my deductable I walked out with 4100 and to my absolute shock they didn't total the car. Now big decisions on what I should do. Fix the car myself and have it painted, by another rs and sell this one as is. So many options

 

[Matt]

alright so I made up my mind....going to fix the car on a budget, ebay will be my friend and wrx swap is in the works as well as a brand new paint scheme.

need a new hood as well, prefer an l hood, no scoop!!!

 

[IBratmanI]

I know someone with a nice L hood, it's green but in great shape. Probably have it for $40. Let m know

 

[Matt]

prob the same guy I was suppose to get this from before!!! I was never able to make it up there, I should have that yota pretty soon so ill make a trip out that way unless anyone else has one closer?

 

[IBratmanI]

Oh yeah! And he is in Waterville now, that might make a difference too

 

[Matt]

win! I go to wtvl every week...is that where the hoods at?

 

[Chris]

If the hood is still in my neck of the woods, I'm going up to Mike's later this week to get an engine. I could traffic a hood while I'm at it.

 

[Matt]

That would be awesome. Just let me know.

 

[IBratmanI]

I think it's in Waterville. Let me find out

 

[IBratmanI]

It's in Vassalboro, but he can get it to Waterville.
