It took a lot work time and work to get it to the stage it is right now, but I did a lot of collision work before on BMW audi mercedes infiniti ecu, this is by far the biggest project I have ever taken on, but I'm pretty happy with the result and glad I went with the yellow I think it's a more suitable color than they gray for this car.

Whoa, that was a project. Well done, sir. How long was the project start to finish? I didn't see a timeline.

Started mid February, but like I said this wasn't a full time thing, it was done after work from around 5-11 on days that I had free which was a lot, I'm 25 and not married so I was able to make a lot of free time to work on this.

Great work. Did you have to do any straightening of the chassis? Or was the damage all cosmetic?

Very cool. I think you were pretty efficient considering the amount of work involved. I'd love to have some of your skillset. Turning wrenches,yes. Body work, not so much...

I don't mind turning wrenches have done plenty of engine tranny swaps, and I do like body work I enjoy doing it, diagnostics and electronic stuff that isn't my strong suit.
