Title: Photos Of Seaberts Spring Saga
Post by: kirin on May 10, 2006, 08:38:44 AM

Hey guys,
Heres the pictures. Going to the doctor in a little bit. Best I can figure out is that I may have some deep tissue bruising from my three points. Thanks to all that have raised up some important points. I am not going to let this car go. She means far to much to me and I have a lot of a really good friendships to thank Seabert for.  Also I took this car to my grad and well I think that explains it all. All I want right now is my car back....

Heres some pics...

Night before

Not that bad at all, The dent in the fender may even pop out and need little body work.

Hey guys,
As far as I'm concerned its a fleshwound. My main concern is fixing the apron. Its kind of been pryed down at the bottom of the engine bay.. But then again the decklid is going to have to be cut off..
Heading out to airspeed right now.

Hey Rustybus.
The apron is kind of peeling away and is kinked on the left side. ICBC estimated the damage at 2k+... Would open up the engine compartment but the latch broke off and theres nothing to turn it with.

Theres nothing you can latch on with a pair of vise grip in that little hole.

What shop are you going to?I have a recomendation but so do alot of other people.

It doesn't take much to hit 2 grand these days .  That's why I think they should raise the bar on claiming if your car has had more than 2000.00 worth of damage when you what to sell it.

Right now I'm looking at the idea of taking a payout gutting the car and sending it off for a complete utter respray since I think it will be VERY difficult to get the paint to match the rest of the car...

No idea. I think its just a cheap single stage. It has a crappy respray over the original in theory. The paint is a colour that isn't really a code and its faded and oxidized...
