Ok, as you proberly all saw in my other thread that I had an accident in my Coupe, my front end was all smashed in.

Well I started off by stripping the front end down. Taking the wings (fenders) and bumper off so then i could attack the front rad panel. So I started late last night and finally got tha bitch off with a hammer and chisel, oh and some angle grinder help. Damn, just realised I didn't take any pics of the front without a panel. Oh well, so I tried on the new rad panel for size...

So I woke up earlie this morning, at 1pm and started welding that bitch a new face, and BAM. It was on...

woohooo, todays fun is now over, now all I need is a bonnet (hood) and wings (fenders). Oh and head lights. :jerkbow:

Now I see the dark bumper, I wanna respray her black. But not sure. I like white too, but its hard keeping tha bitch clean.

Trust me when i say this, a black car is 100 times harder to keep, and to clean.

My car never shows dirt, my sisters black civic always did, i cleaned it once and even drying it put dirt on it :x

Thanks :) I just hope I don't have to go through it again. Another reason for the colour change was because every car I've owned so far has been white. :eh:
