Good to hear you're making progress! Hopefully it all goes well and we get to see the great return of this once (and soon to be again) noble vehicle. I think an appropriate name (if you're inclined to naming your cars) would be Phoenix. Not quite true since it doesn't look like there was fire involved, but it's close enough in my opinion.

where did you order the parts from?did you try another salvaged car that might be smooshed in the rear but fine in the front.?...I guess those would be fewer and far between and are you telling how much you got the salvaged vibe for?

i got lucky and got my vibe for around 5k hehi have all the parts ordered from GM through a local dealership, its going to be pretty much stock for the time being.i did look for a vibe that was smashed in the rear but, yeah they are sort of hard to come by. i found a couple on http://www.erepairables.com but they are not on an auction they are just for sale and it'd be cheaper to buy the parts. i got my vibe all loaded up on a trailer yesterday and ready to go to the bodyshop to get framework done, figured id call the guy before i drove 30 mins to the shop. then he says "yeah it doesnt really fit my schedule today, how about tuesday? unless you want to leave your vehicle sit outside here." so i have to wait until tuesday now, so had to unload the vibe and roll it back into the shop. pretty much all of my parts have arrived except for on of the 3/4 panels and i dont think the bumper has arrived yet, got the hood on friday, maybe i should of ordered a carbonfiber hood instead of stock but oh well.
