This thread is one of the most amazing threads I've read at Rennlist, the passion and effort to get this job and the attention to details in exemplary specially for someone that young. You deserve to own this car and I hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else around here.
Congrats! Specially to another Canadian!
PS. what I'd do is to create a GIF image of before/after pic of this car through the stages of development, that'd be really cool!

Great work restoring the car. It looks new now 
Thank you for logging the process with pictures on this forum. I'm sure there will be others thinking whether to pursue the journey or not and this will be motivating for them.

This is hugely impressive. Congrats on saving this car!
Quick question, did you paint the GT3tek lip or just leave it as plastic? Fitment was good? Have to drill holes or no?

fantastic job! unreal really. I know that you did this job for yourself, and that you are keeping the car as a daily driver, I'm wondering how the forum would value this car, if/when you decide to sell it.
Given how people stress over resprayed bumpers and "high miles" and salvage titles and "paint damage" I'm wondering what the forum has to say about what would the asking price be for this car? By asking this question, I mean no disrespect to the OP, but given what we know about this car, and given the number of "what's it worth" threads, its an interesting question - to me, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one wondering

Here's my feeling and I had a huge rear end accident. I had artists fix it and it's gorgeous…..not one issue and the accident is 2 years ago.
If I were to sell that car and it's been beautifully repaired like Charley's and someone wants to give me an unrealistically low bid then I wouldn't sell it…simple as that and my in intent with that car is to keep it until I don't remember how to shift it!
Who cares what it's worth really….like Charley…she was saved and she means more to me than if she wasn't hit.
There's been no problems for 2 years…what's the justification for a significantly lower bid? It's been hit and so what!! It's been fixed perfectly…..someone will love her.
