I've got a couple PMs from the "other" place saying I should post some links over here.



Check out the project FDs I've done and am currently doing. I am not a bodyguy, I just know a good one. I tear the cars down and put them back together when they are done.



DONE:

93 MB Base accident repair. 43K miles on this car, turned out flawless and drives like new. This car wears the front sheetmetal of Tuck's old FD.

IN PROGRESS:

58K mile VR Base, light hit to tree on the left side. I picked it up today from the painter. More pics as the reassembly progresses.

uhhhhh.....where are u!? when we were doing the final check to see what parts i had to cut off of the front end of my fc we noticed that the driver's side corner, just in front of the fender had been pulled inward. i guess that would be considered totaled right? so now we are swapping everyting in mine into another one.... a base model

i hit a tree if ur wondering what the heck im talking about

hey and its also fun snapping all the heads off of the bolts for the body panels

I'm not a bodyguy, I just know a good one. He has been doing this type of work for 15yrs at a quality shop so he knows what he is doing.



I've been fixing FDs mechanically since 1999 and started buying cars that need bodywork about 1.5 yrs ago once I met the bodyman.
