Hehe, Well..... Lets start.

First of all, who aint know yet, me and Edo (Link to his profile >>>) where contacting eatch other about 2 years now. He helped me alot, i did the same. We live about 1700 miles away from eatch other (he's italian), but we talked alot on phone and etc. So....

The deal is - Edo, was going to fix his car from the accident hes got, and he wanted full repaint. In italy they charge about 2500 euros (2800$) for full repaint with color change. So i offerend him my help, and aranged everything here for a full repaint with color change a LOOOOOooooot cheaper wink.gif

I aranged the truck (my friend buys cars from Italy, so he helped me with bringing Edos car here), and after 5 days of waiting i drove his car home smile.gif

From the first look, there wasnt too much wokr on his car... But... after some further examination.. i found Waaaayyyyyy too much things to do before it goes to paint shop.. Here it is, the damage and things need to be fixed:

Fender..... Out of shape - compleatly, the whole shape is made out of Bondo... What the hell do goys thought then they fix it? The metal is not even straighted, the dents are all letf and instead of hamerring the metal out to the place they fixed it with bondo..... frown.gif

Driver side fender... it looked just like not a big dent.... hmmm, till i started to hamer it... It seemed like both fenders had a big damage, but instead of shaping metal to its original pl;ace, the guys who fixed car before, go the fender shape outt of bondo, with offcorse started to crack....

Interior.... Who ever painted this - deserves to be shoot. Wiring... Oh man smile.gif Edo, you know what i thought smile.gif I will rewire everything, and mount the Profec E01 to the shifter trim, so it will be NO wires all around, and everything will be safe and clear smile.gif

30 min later - both fenders are out of the car, waiting till i remove whole bondo from them, sand them till bare metal, and then hammer them to the original shape.
