Default Re: The Phoenix!

Just dropped by the repair shop to check on 'er. She's all better! The hood and the bumper are installed now, and everything lines up nicely!

I'd rather NOT paint the whole thing if I can avoid the $$. However, the hood and bumper have to be painted, and the rear bumper cover needs a small crack fixed and so it too has to be painted. After blending the paint at each end, virtually the entire car is involved...So, it doesn't look like there is much $$ to be saved - or that big of a gap between just the involved panels and doing the whole thing. I might be able to avoid doing the top, since it was not scratched. At least maybe that is where I can save a few bucks. might as well "connect the dots, I guess. [sigh].

Well! She'll be home tomorrow so I can get her running again (after installing the radiator and coolant). Then she'll be able to be driven to the paint shop under her own POWER.

I can't wait to see her all fixed up! Shouldn't be long now!
