ITS ALIVE!!......well almost *UPDATED FINISHED*
Ok, so about a year ago someone was backing out of a parking spot while i was driving down the road. He couldn't see if anything was coming so he thought that the best thing to do was to just go ahead and back out. Next thing I know BAM the rear end of a Toyota 4x4 ( I don't get it but 4x4s are all the craze over here... 
) Ok, so now I have a totaled 87 944S. It took a while dealing with the insurance company, but I finally got what I wanted from them thanks to a PCA valuation. So anyway they may be gruesome but here are some pics.

It took a bit of work to straighten it out.....
The black piece was taken from a parts car and welded in place after straightening out the damage

Thanks guys! It is coming along, almost ready for the road again.
I guess the front bumper is what you liked about the old look catfood?
I remember talking to you about it through PM I believe. I liked it but I rather the turbo look and I needed the fender and nose panel anyway. So I figured I would just go this route.
Voith I don't know too much about the yellow vette. The guy that I got to help me with the frame is just restoring it for someone. Too bad you in Europe, vettes are all over the place around here lol

Nice save! Its awesome you got to go with the turbo front end, especially since the insurance company is paying for it! That was a Euro lower front valence you had on there before right? The euro valence would have deleted the fog lights since they're already built into the bumper.
