everything is straightened out now - thanks for the offer @deylag . they just used the stm crash beam to do it and it held up fine.

sadly the LICP was smashed in the crash, which i didn't notice. i ordered a new one, and we're waiting on MAP for the parts to be shipped to the auto body shop.

otherwise, the frame has been straightened out now

 

Man seems this went better than it could have. Happy you'll have the car back together and it wasnt worse than you'd hoped.

 

thanks. i think they're stil working on making sure everything comes together but i've got high hopes for the panels to all be aligned.

 

Still waiting on a few final bits from MAP. Lot of queues and hold ups due to the sales season.

 

question
- should i inspect motor mounts (yes, but anything i should really worry about if it's good)
- any strength/integrity issues i should look at, or should it be roughly the same

preview update from the shop. the driver side of the hood is a tiiiiiny bit off (slightly low), and will be corrected, but otherwise looking fantastic.









(nothing has been painted yet)

 

The motor mounts are fine.

 

Why paint it? Mitsu body parts come in white already. When my RA sportback was rear ended I just ordered another bumper and bolted it on.

 

some of it vanity. the hood isn't in great condition paint wise an the fenders don't seem to be factory white. when i put the jdm rear bumper on it was perfect too didn't worry but i guess this kind of stands out

 

Ah, they are used parts. Makes sense then.

 

I would say that is coming back together nicely! Should be back on the road in no time.

 

So those are the euro lights? They seem to have the black chrome? I am a fan. I was disappointed of the look of the jdm flat black on my ww rs, I actually preferred the chrome over the flat black On the stark white. Storm trooper is just not my thing. However the black chrome might just be the ticket, just have to figure out how to powderpuff my nt03’s the same

 

yessir - black chrome is way better IMO than the flat black

 

picking up the car tomorrow!! any last minute thing i should look over when I grab it?

 

Leave your excitement at home and make sure you look at all of the completed work very closely to make sure it is up to your standards.

 

will be hard to do but will do!
