On the road again

Post by Herb »

For those who have been following the "Nailed By A Sandwich Truck" thread http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=33509, this is the conclusion. Or at least very nearly.Repairs are done, mostly cosmetic stuff left and am also waiting on the front emblem and rear inlays. Some things look a bit off such as the gaps between the bumper and body panels and rear doors, but I'm assured these can be adjusted which probably will be when I bring it in for the outstanding partsThe rear emblems still look a bit off to me, and the rear hatch requires more force to close.But here are the pics I took when I picked it up Aug 8th.

As I mentioned in the other thread, they removed the roof rails to paint, but the plastic obviously looks like it was pryedThe other thing is that the engine bay looks terrible. All the mess from the sanded body filler is under the hood. The polished engine covers look like a mess. Anyone have an idea as to what I should use to clean?Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!
