You have incredible skills. Not only the body work and painting, but the electronics as well! I have a great deal of respect for your composure with the people that say "you should have done this and that". I can tell you really enjoy your car, and that's what counts. You have a great attitude and must really enjoy life. Great job!

I have a question for the members on this site - and please be honest. Would you buy this car or would you purchase something that was not in an accident? I'm all for original vehicles . Repaired cars look good until the end of the first year or for us in the north where it snows and they fire salt on the road - the first winter.

I'm not knocking the skills of 04 G as they are exceptional - then again pictures can make most things look good but when you get up close you may see imperfections. Not too often do you get a better finish than factory unless you throw huge $$$$ at it.
I would much rather buy a clean-titled g, however... if i was provided with all of the pictures which OP has given us to show what work was done to the car and how, I would have no problem buying this car with the not-so-perfect title.

Great job, OP car looks amazing

most people would rather buy a clean title G for sure . Many people have seen my car in person and they can tell you there are no imperfections and paintwork is better than factory . Not even a hint of orange peel . You would never know it was dammaged . I have been daily driving the car for about 2 years now and i havent had one problem with the car whatsoever . It also drives perfectly straight when letting go of the steering wheel so even alignment is perfect . All in all though most people would not buy the car because of the rebuilt title .

I don't understand why everyone reads the thread, then comments on how they would never buy a rebuilt title car. NEWSFLASH: most cars have had some kind of work done. It may be minor, to something huge. It's a crap shoot unless you really know what to look for. Everytime there is a rebuild thread on here someone has to say they'd never buy a salvage/rebuild title car. Just dip if you're gonna post that - the thread isn't a poll for title preference .

You really did some great work. I'd love to learn how to do body work, but don't have the resources or space. I've done my fair share of detailing and that paint job is spot on from what I have seen.
