Yeah about 3/4th through ordering/receiving the parts he realized that his total was coming up allot higher then the quote from the insurance agency. Come to find out a good portion of the parts were Type-R. Explaining why the total was coming up so high. At this point it was already too late and some of the parts had already been fitted onto the car so he went with it. The only part that was not brand-new was the side mirror, which was pulled off a used 2k GSR.

For two months I had been driving my friends 2k1 Crown Vic. ( a boat ) So going from that back to this was like night and day. Only thing that freaked me out was the Crown Vic had speed power assisted steering. So it took little to no effort to turn the wheel. Compared to my car it almost felt like I didn’t have power steering at first. But then all the familiarities started to come back.

As far as gap’s between panels there near to perfect. The only real spots you can tell that the car had been worked on is under the hatch. There are fresh weld marks where he had attached the new rear quarter panel. They have been painted and what not but you can see the difference between the factory welds and his. All and all Im pretty satisfied with his work.

Tonight Im gonna check fluids and re-detail the inside a bit. Also punch in my radio code ~Doh! , forgot to and was running late for work...
