Took 12 hours, so it better have looked good or I'd keep working until it's truly done :lol:

Ordering new tires tomorrow morning. That was the scariest weekend I've ever had. Whether it was the almost completely destroying the car, or rushing to get it driveable by Monday morning so my parents wouldn't notice anything had happened :lol:

Leaving this one island, came around a bend doing no more than 20mph but did kinda turn hard, back end broke loose, no biggie.

Car started getting too sideways because of the balding tires (usually I can keep it under control) and instead of easing on the gas, I, like an idiot, slammed the brakes. Locking up the brakes caused me to get more sideways, get into oncoming lane, back into my lane almost 180* to what I should be, into someones yard. Started turning the wheel, car was coming back to the left, and bam! Front end slammed the wood thing and slid about 10 more feet.

I waited 20 minutes, no one came out of any houses, no one passed by, I attempted to rebuild wood thing (after pic) and left. Hood was stuck 3-4 inches up, bumper bashed, rocks inbetween wheel & tire, etc etc.

Got it to g/f house, took it apart (about 4am), slept, worked on it until 10pm with only a couple breaks here & there

Thanks...I was pissed at first like anyone would be, but it happened and I couldn't change that so next move was get her somewhere safe and figure out how much time do I have to fix this and how long will it actually take. Oh and about the hands & knees...washing my hands last night was hell, then the shower this morning getting 2 kinds of soap and then shampoo in the cuts...ooooooowwwww!!!!! :lol:

You better believe it. Tomorrow morning = ordering new tires. Fronts have had new ones for awhile from about 6 months ago when I found out I had a snapped stud because I overtightened one lugnut. What made me mad about that day, was when I picked it up from my friends shop, one of the guys tells me my car is dangerously fast...oh really, so you basically joyriding my car to find that out were you? Won't go back there, I'll just change tires myself now

How much work had to go into it? I mean, what parts, etc? How much does that cost? I know it's a pain in the ass even for comparable damage on a Civic.

I didn't replace a single thing, just took some time to repair it all with what was there


A/C radiator thing was bent (pictured) but I put it on the ground, light stepped around the edges until it was falt again

Bumper was just cosmetic damage, nothing really major, and the marks came off in about 3 minutes

The radiator support took about a 2 or 3 hours to bend back

The hood latch was a b***h and took 3-4 hours to get perfect

The radiator was a pain and took about an hour to get out, but only 5 minutes to get back in

Airbox was about 5-10 minutes each way

Bumper was about 5-10 minutes each way

And that sums it up for work. Then there were a couple breaks, had to run home and get different tools, and wait a little while for my friend to be free to kick the radiator support some

Oh man. That would've made me cry... I have spun my car 4 times, once doing 105mph but never hit anything but a deer. Good job fixing it.
