Well it was once all silver. Last year i ran into a cab. Pushed in the front drivers side.Got a hood, fender,bumper, corner light and headlight. did it all myself. Then got rear ended and needed a rear bumper which i brought and put on. Hood, fender, bumper,headlight,sidelight and rear bumper.$325 and i installed it. I think i did pretty good.

i recieved $300 more than i bought the car for (with salvage deducted), went el cheapo fix, bent core support, hood and fender back, bought headlight, corner lights off ebay ~$50 total, bought black bumper $125

jan, 2005 108k miles (looks worse in person)


it's a free car with low miles and drives great but looks like junk. i'm probably going to fix and start driving my black auto soon til the tranny goes then throw in the 5 speed, and maybe the motor while i'm at it. who knows?

wow, i was assuming you replaced your core support instead of pulling and bending. it looks good man, everything looks square. bending that sucker back in shape can be tricky.

Hey man, I can relate too. I am in the process of fixing my 91. I bought it after it was in a front end collision that was pretty bad but its starting to get a second life. Keep it up.

Well unless you want to go through the trouble of painting your door and trunk jambs plus the bottom of the hood and trunk and the engine bay I would stick with the silver. If you are going to have someone else paint it then look to pay a lot for a color change. Its a lot of trouble so unless you want to go really custom or can do it yourself the I would stick with silver...maybe a different shade of silver if you dont like the factory silver.

True. I agree AWSM66. Guy wanted extra $50 per door jambs.Not counting trunk and etc. Silver Mist is starting to look good.

Well considering I sent 4 filters and it cost me $8.50 to ship them to you, you are getting them almost free.

I think I might take you up on that offer. Plus I could always use a trip to Baywalk and the Pier.
