you know what i hate? i hate when you're rushing out of class to go use the bathroom because you have a massive shit about to undergo and you get into the stall, after finding the cleanest one and making sure there is an ample supply of cheap toilet paper and seat covers, you finally put the seat cover on, start getting unbuckled, and then the automated toilet flushes itself. so now, you have to start over while your desperately trying to hold in your massive aching shit and re-cover it, but this time, keeping yourself closer to the toilet. stupid sanitary toilets.
/end of rant.

Seat covers are annoying. And for pussies.

got a super amazing deal, 500 to weld a new core support, pull the frame, align everything and put fenders, hood, grills, radiator, fan clutch, valance and bumper....
i just need to find the extra parts i need...

same place i got the rear fixed since it was the cheapest...the owner showed me the book of where the measurements are n labor time, it said 7 hours to cut and weld and align everything...they charge 150 an hour though...
but he said it was not going to take more than 6 hours to fix, he said 500 even and if i took the parts like fenders, hood, bumper, valance and grills he would align everything at no extra charge...i dont really care if its a little off as long as i can drive it...since i work like 25 mins away...i really need my car running

[ethrtyiS]

well that's fantastic. you need to share this shop as a thread in california so we all know where to get it done at.

[ethrtyiS]

Good News man...:D Glad to hear its working out for you!

the car has too much sentimental value to let it go plus too much money into it... tons of rebuilt and new parts...swapping it over on a new shell would be impossible for me..no hoist, not enough tools, no time, no help, no moneys for a new shell...seeing e30s are going to 2k and up

I'm just saying it's got a lot of other factors... Wrinkled quarter panel, smashed rear valance, etc.

Either way glad to hear they're giving you a great price to fix it! Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

i wanted to but that would take months to find, and its my daily and need it for work since i travel around 40 miles everyday to work and no car is just a hassle...
also all the body will get fixed(meaning dents and such, and wrinkles, and painted possibly next year for now any color panels will do dont mind rocking a rainbow car lol
