So much for the new tires I was going to buy. Rear ended a big Tahoe today. Went right under the bumper, barely a scratch on the SUV, but I bunged up my right front sheet metal, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
I'd been planning on some body and paint work for some time, so it looks like this will force my hand. Hate the idea of being off the road just when the sun is starting to come out. Any of you NW guys need some side work? The front end already had some slight damage from the PO: bumper tits, hood alignment, etc., so this means I have to finally move ahead with making it into the 914 I've always envisioned. Time to make lemonade. |

Ouch! that's not to bad. Let me know if you find someone. Here's where I'm at with my fender I had nothing to lose and only knowledge to gain by pounding mine out. It's amazing now you can get the sheet metal to move. My goal was to get it to the point where I can get the turn signal light back in and get it on the street. I have some really nasty creases in it so it will never look good. Once I get it all back together I plan on finding someone who can splice a good piece back in. Maybe we can get a two fer?
