For All Those With Front End Damage, Don't get discouraged! Options

[Spitrod]

I've been noticing a lot of people on here have recent front end damage.
Even though it seems overwhelming, don't get rid of your car! You can
fix it without paying someone else to do it. It's waaaay cheaper and you
learn a lot.

Years ago, I sold my old Celica to a guy who proceeded to demolish it.
After he was done destroying the car, I got it back. I had never done any
body work before and it seemed like too much for me to take on. But I
started searching for the parts and did it myself. Here's a before and after -



After -


Not one other human soul touched it. I did every bit of work on her..and I had
never done this kind of work before in my life.

I could have sent her to a junkyard..but now someone else is driving and enjoying
her.

So before you decide to throw in the towel, give it a try. You learn alot about
your car along the way...and you also walk away with a sense of pride after
you did it.
