Im getting her painted!!!

98mustang · February 14th, 2007, 07:54 PM

My car was involved in an accident of my causing a year ago and i paid to get it repaired. I bought all the parts myself becuase it was my fault. I installed all the new parts with help from my dad. I had to by a front bumper cover, new headlights, passenger side fender, and headlight bracket. When i went to get it painted the guy told me he could match my color no problem but when i got them back it looked as if he had never even tried to match it. Well a year and a few months later after living with this mismatched paint for soooo long a trash truck pulled out infront of me!! I had no where to go so i hit him and it messed the passenger side up, this was the side that was mismatched anyway. It sucked i got hit but awsome because the whole car will recieve a paint job, because of the faded paint, blending would be to difficult. Heres some pics of the damage. As you can see the fender and bumper cover were not the same color as the rest of the car.

So uhh if you go with that bumper do you want the chin spoiler?

98mustang · February 15th, 2007, 07:53 PM

I dont think im going with the cobra stuff. I dont want to put money into a V6 anymore. I want a GT!!! Or a 1996-1998 cobra!! Im gonna get the car returned back to stock and completely repainted. Then after i get it back i will sell the car and because i bought the car for $5800 with 55K miles on it and it will be freshly painted and have 70K on the od i believe i can sell it for a profit and then turn around and buy a GT 01+!!!! I have a friend who owns the largest auto group in augusta and hes who i bought this car from. I can tel him where the GT i want is at and he will get it for me at whatever price he buys it for. He was my sunday school teacher and a good friend of the familys. Im starting to look around for a GT here in augusta. But there is a chance the insurance might total the car though cause it messed the strut up and bent all sorts of junk on the suspension. Ill get the final estimate tomorrow. Either way a GT is in my future!!

Sorry to hear about your accident but it sounds like it is working out for the best for you.

Good luck with your search for a GT and I hope that you find one that you like.
