Civic Getting Fixed!

[gsteffens]

Well as much as it sucks that my car got smashed, I do have the priviledge of watching it get repaired. I took a ton of pictures over the past week as they worked on my car, and if they keep up at this rate I should have it back next week.

Just got there! Sorry for blurriness, kinda mid range camera...

Hood, bumper, head light ETC have been taken off

Upper core suppored is F'ed

Upper core support off!

New hood!

New Core Support!

Core Support in!

The guys at our shop take a bit longer than some may but they seem to do a very thorough and neat job

Old bumper and radiator. I believe they are re using the fans. I will try to get a picture of the old hood too

New bumper ready for paint!

Painted core support

Painted underside of hood. Top will get painted after it's installed.


The hood has been bolted on as of Friday afternoon but the battery died in the camera. Will take more pics Monday!

Seein the car apart like this makes me wish I was installing a turbo/intercooler with it this far apart. Maybe some day ha ha but for now I want it back!!!

i guess im out of the loop. what happened to it?

 

[gsteffens]

Before....

After....

Brakes faded plus a bunch of other small factors which added up to this. The other guy was in an 03 Taurus and he had a scuff on his bumper. This is about $4000+ damage.

yikes

Yep it happens. At least the air bags didn't blow and no one was hurt, ETC. Car still drove perfectly fine afterward, just needed it fixed so if i ever sell it it's in good shape and so I can open the hood all the way.
