It's funny how bare the car looks with the hood, bumper, fender and door taken off haha I'm actually shocked to see what REALLY holds this car together...







It's too bad I didn't have intercooler piping and turbo right now huh? haha it would take minutes to put them in lol all that extra room

Insurance gave the shop soooooo much money to toy with, the car got above and beyond what it needed so hey, just replace ugly old parts with new ones lol

its a 2003 with under 30k on it so not too much is gonna look bad but still.. its aging.

 

Wow. its so bare but I guess it will lok better then ever

 

yea im so excited... allll brand new parts, the shop said all the parts are listed as painted already.. is this true???

 

Damn look how easy it is now to swap in a new turbo

 

haha true about all the extra room. but hey at least you'll be with your evo again

 

What happen to the car?

What parts are you getting?

 

with the car this much apart.....time to upgrade

 

Was ther major frame damage?

 

How much did you get for ther claim? And was it just front end damage?

 

There was only cosmetic damage... no frame damage at all.. Hit it in the "sweet spot"

Needed 2 doors, fender, hood, bumper and a radiator fan (radiator and intercooler were not damaged oddly enough) but I got new of both anyways.... but insurance gave them over 9 grand so basically they went all out. I didnt REALLLLY need a radiator support but they got a new one anyways.

haha if ONLY I had allll the parts I want now that would be SICK! It's all riiiiiiight there!

If I don't like how the car turns out... I'm literally so ready for an evo 9 or another 03 evo 8. There would have to be something majorly wrong with it though to hurt performance seeing as I want it for track days and what not for next year.

I'll have the car back by wednesday or thursday.. I havn't had the car since december. He has treated it very well for me cause unfortunatly I lost my liscence through this whole ordeal. At times I wanted him to finish the car but that's only cause its hard to make payments without it in my possesion. Honestly though.. I don't want to walk outside and see a car I can't drive everyday.
