well i got all my parts ordered they should be arriving today or monday. Framework is going to be getting done on sunday. its more parts than i thought i would need and its going to cost a little more then i planned but its going to be a nice car. ill try to go out to the shop and get some 'repair' photos and maybe put a parts list of what i had to orderthere was 2 pages of stuffall the body partsand then head lights etc etcthere are so many little parts that add up on there that are like 15 -20 - 50 dollar range. well ill try to get more picshttp://community.webshots.com/album/69030643VUtrTr

what are you refering to?

yes very correctlook at the pics if you want to see there is a link in the first post at the bottom.

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.

but it is hot and red, pheonix works.looks like you got a lot of work ahead,so good luck with that.

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?

Ouch That puts me in pain to see pics like that.Are you going to put all stock parts on there or going to customize it?Good luck on your progress. -Slink

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.
