Front bumper took a couple hits and all the rock chips. One was a chunk of a tire on the freeway. The other was in the rain hitting a dip. MY fenders were even showing signs of stress and bending. So just redoing everything fixing all the battle wounds.

yeah this car would cost a fortune if I didn't sack up and do all the work myself haha. The fenders are actually fitting quite nicely now. Pretty happy since originally I would have spent the money on something else in a second. Just need to get some money to buy a quart of paint and primer.

As far as viveks car I noticed a frame and some bolts but no car? hahaha jkin I was in and out didn't get a chance to even look.

At this point I'm just trying to get my car back in one color and working. Probably not going to do any body stuff until next summer. Side skirts would be very nice though hahaha.

I only paint little things. I did some trim and stuff on the door and it came out ok. I just have a cheap gun and not the right area to be painting items as big as bumpers and sides. All that I take to a shop
