Finally Fixed My Car

[Russman]

Hey all

Some of you may know that a drifted my car into a wall about June and have just been tracking it without the front being fixed.

Finally got round to getting it all together.

All up the crash cost me around $1500.

Intercooler, lights, indicators and paint etc. Thanks to the generosity of Steve and Troy for the free front bar and reo. Legends!

If anyone wants good paint for not a lot of money try James from Patti Panels in Campbellfield. He's been a great help and was flexible to fix/paint the car to the level that I wanted. I didn't want a perfect job coz I'll probably just smash it again! He'll do a top notch job too if that's what you want. Very easy to deal with.

Anyway I'm very happy with the results!

Here are some pics:

Yeh guys ive gotta say this 'cheap job' is as good if not better than most 'top notch' jobs that kents pay thousands for :\ looks great from far but up close there are no nasty surprises.

For the money paid it is bloody insane value for money thats for sure!

Patti Panels are a great alternative to say DT Panels, if you want a cheap but great job, hit James up for a quote, you definately wont be dissappointed. And as Russell pointed out, they can also do a showroom finish if thats what youre after.

btw im in love with the new look of Russ' car!

Cool, good to see it all back together. Looks good and you dont even have the money wheels on it

Hoping my paint will be finished before xmas and all my mechanical fixes by end of Jan, then we can go rub panels and undo all the good work of others

Yeah but I still think it doesn't look like 'my' car without the gtr bar. If I can find a good one for cheap I'll probably still go that way.

It's on!!! haha.

Got some N1 headlights on it now and it's looking more like 'my' car again haha.

I should clarify that it was only the front quarters, bonnet and bar that got painted. Don't look too close at the rest of the car haha.
