body work I'm getting done

Post by cweed »

so my mx-3 is pretty banged up so here are some before pictures.
as you can see the fender was put on rather half a.ss'd and welded on. getting that taken care of. also, when I got in an accident and got rear ended the trunk panel was bent in and pushed in the bumper. hopefully get that fixed soon.
after I get the dents done and the car primer'd I'll post pictures, hopefully by next week.

this is what I gotta work with :welder:

Looks like quite the adventure you got planned! Have fun!!

I cringe when I see smashed MX3s... lol Went to the pick-a-part today, and felt bad for this MX that hit a deer... the blood was still fresh hahaha

I didnt see an impact point on the front bumper... what did you hit?

almost looks like frame rail is bent a bit so your fender/bumper is way off.

Before you invest any time or money into fixing your car, make sure the frame isn't bent. Otherwise its not even worth the cost or the time in the long run.
