Rebuilt the beast better!!!!

[NATEHAWK]

Had a run in with dodging a dear driving home back in April 2017. Well lets say the guard rail won. As of May 2018 I finally completed the restore. And shes better then ever with a few additions.

Located a OEM front bumper cover, and all OEM parts on the front. Had to replace the airbag crash sensor on the radiator support, the RCM, Clock spring, and driver seatbelt. Found a company online to reset the RCM and reset the seatbelt tensioner. I actually ordered the CV crash reinforcement bar by accident and just had to cut the corners to fit the fogs. 2in cow hood, projector lights with angel eye switch backs, QA1 Rear shocks, adding Monroe front struts/shock assembly, got the driver seat redone with new cushions underneath, suede dark charcoal headliner and visors and added the chin spoiler finally. Picks below.

I will be doing a headliner soon. I was thinking of suede. I guess all the swirls in your headliner depends on which way it was last rubbed? Or, does the picture just make it stand out more?

[crownvic97]

Kudos for fixing it, I wish more people would!

[blazen71]

Glad you brought it back to life! Looks really nice.

[TAKEDOWN]

Is that deerskin on the headliner LOL

Correct. It's suede that's just from rubbing it. It's not swirls.

[NATEHAWK]

Should be lol.

[Greg]

Swirls was a bad adjective to use. It was told doing suede would be an upgrade to the existing. Looks good and probably smells like leather as well. Is the differences from rubbing less without perhaps the camera flash?

Since I have to do a headliner, I am considering doing suede as well. Did you get the visors done?

Nice job bringing it back to life. I assume the insurance company may have totaled it. How did you handle that? Were they involved?

I lost a car to some minor damage due to the insurance company totally something that was perfectly fixable. But, I would have had to buy it back and then it becomes a salvage title.

I know I will have much more in my car then it would be worth. Have to be careful how insurance is handled if in an accident.

[Mr. Man]

Came out great.

You sound like insurance companies scared the living ***** outta you lol. They definitely totaled it out. They paid me the difference of the buy back and I fixed it done deal. Yes the title says salvage but who cares Im not selling it lol. Suede headliner & visors, its beautiful in person. Dont hesitate man just get it done.

Glad to see her back on the road.

[Greg]

Yep scared of the big bad insurance company. Have to compensate with a big car and perhaps a punisher emblem on the hood:)

See you are in the DC MD area. I am in Ellicott City, MD. Would love to see the car sometime. I hope to go to the Capital Area Marauder lunch July 21.

Did you do the headliner yourself or do you have someone you could recommend? How much was it if you don't mind me asking. Please PM me if you would prefer.

Very impressive work!!

I was able to have them NOT total mine out since it had a lien on it and I agreed to pay the difference to have it fixed. Wasn't much of a difference, they shot out $4k to the body shop for Me to get it fixed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180703/f9a60735775f4b213602a4e4a3016a b2.png

Yeah the driver side axle was bent and later on broken off, has slight frame damage in the rear from smacking the wall, car tracks straight and alignment is good tho! The paint shade is pretty on point, they didn't touch the jams and it blends perfectly. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180704/e67e3bedc4a18de7130ca7a50f0e1f af.jpg
