From start to,”finish” (Pictured day one). This is not pic heavy because slow internet.
A large tree fell in front of the car while it was parked and one of the branches caught the front end.
Replaced the door, hammered out the hood and fenders(very poorly), got one new headlight which was different from the other(it had a black chrome backing instead of normal reflective), new bumper, new core support.
Before hammer
After hammer
Its amazing what a angle grinder, welder, and bondo can do when they work together
You can see all the custom panels. I figured that the car was too far gone to warrant paying for a set of new fenders and hood.

I kid, I kid.
These are mostly ok cars (I almost bought one new in 2009), but thoroughly forgettable and disposable. They still drove better than a Corolla from the same period, IMHO.

I was impressed with the power, and I could see the handling being good if the struts were in better shape
