H20 · 10-15-2008, 03:30 AM

Holy Crap! That wasnt totaled? Congrads on bringing her back to life!

DJJSR · 10-15-2008, 05:56 AM

Looks good! That was a little more than some Bondo and touch-up!

leahysailor · 10-15-2008, 07:09 AM

Man they did a helluva job! Just looking at the pictures you can't tell that anything happened to it.

lonestarbuzz · 10-15-2008, 08:22 AM

how was that not totalled?! do you have a salvage title now?

you should be commended for bringing one back to life! +1 for the stewie community.

rusyus · 10-15-2008, 11:14 AM

i bought if from insurane auction, so i guess it was totaled. That doe not mean that it cannot be rebuilt. I does have salvage title, but i really don't care

Here are a few more pictures (front):

TheSoundMan21 · 10-15-2008, 11:17 AM

pop the hood man thats what I want to see. Nice job brothers got some skill.

s2kx2 · 10-15-2008, 11:41 AM

Wow! Nice job. But ... How did that happen? Did she bite you in a corner or did someone cross your path?

rusyus · 10-15-2008, 05:38 PM

Here are 2 more pictures under the hood, but it's hard to see anything there. And it is dirty

need to wash it as well.

Not really sure, but i'd guess another car on the corner. I got it like that

gomarlins3 · 10-15-2008, 07:43 PM

Congrats on saving it.

TheSoundMan21 · 10-15-2008, 08:36 PM

No, I got very lucky, all the damage was on the top, over the frame, although it looks pretty bad on the picture.
So everything above the frame came from another car.
Fender is actually made from 2 damaged fenders

cut in half and then welded together.

JOECHY · 10-15-2008, 10:55 PM

Nice! How long did it take from start to finish?

H20 · 10-16-2008, 05:13 AM

Good looking radiator man!

slowrodent · 10-16-2008, 08:51 AM

Wow! From the pics you posted, it looks superb.. Panel alignment looks great. Like others have said, congrats on saving one.. Seems that many are biting the dust these days...

SXY_S2K · 10-16-2008, 09:31 AM

Wow, Many thanks for saving her, can't believe there was no damage to the frame!

jake2k · 11-05-2008, 08:13 PM

Wow! You brought her back to life. you can't keep an s2000 down Can't stop won't stop

s2000isu · 11-05-2008, 08:32 PM

Looks really good in the pictures. Why would you repair a fender like that when fenders are so cheap and easy to get?

CodyLX450 · 11-06-2008, 04:34 AM

Very nice work. I was expecting a bunch of misaligned pieces under the hood, but without telling us beforehand it was wrecked, I don't think anyone could tell.
