    Good Morning

    My son had an unfortunate accident with his CSX this weekend during the ice storm and I'm in the process of fixing his CSX grill but there is a few pieces missing. Anyone have a broken grill or a few pieces they wish to part with? LMK

    He is ok, shook up a bit and angry the car got messed up.

    We spent Sunday pulling the gas tank and welded it up (got holed by a post) pulling out the radiator support (90% there) and repairing various other damages so he could drive to work the next day.

    Not pretty but back on the road!

    I'm working on the grill and bumper cover now and when ready we will pull out the rest of the radiator support and make nice-nice again.

    He is ok and the car will be too! It has more lives than a cat!

    Nick saved it and put a quarter on it, then was going to strip and scrap it after sitting in his yard for many years with no drivetrain and or interior.. Then I saved it from the scrap yard and Kyle is driving it.

    Little tugging and pulling, some paint and it will be like new. Glad we did not install a front mount intercooler yet as it would have been crushed.

    Give Jesse Buhr a shout. He has one that needed some minor repair. I was going to buy it when a guy backed into my "T", but I ended up fixing mine instead.

    Thank you, he really lucked out! Hopefully he learned a good lesson and the car is fixable.

    Thanks for the heads up but I got impatient yesterday and the fiberglass and resin started flying.. hope to have lower airdam and grill repaired in the next couple of days.

    If you have most of the pieces to get you in the ballpark this might be the easiest way.

    Yes, going to sneak his car in the garage while he is at work and hang the stuff on.

    Picked up a bumper, headlamp surround, outside mirror and spare grill from Jon Berube yesterday.

    Getting ready to amble outside in a few to see if the paint is dry..

    I'm no body guy, but if you give me enough time I can get something presentable.

    If I had more time I would have reworked where the upright stopped the car on the bumper cover but I don't have the time.

    Grill was busted into 6 pieces with some parts gone, lower air dam ripped up and the there was a hole the size of a half-dollar in the cover itself.

    It will do for now, it will do.

    Thanks again to Jon for some parts!

    Pulled the twisted bumper off, pulled out the lower radiator support more, painted, installed new bumper, installed cover and secured, installed grill, installed headlamp surrounds, adjusted headlamps, fixed left turn signal socket, replaced passenger side mirror, painted drivers side to match, fixed inoperative windshield washers, inspected spark plugs and sanded some rusty spots in the paint and touched up.

    Everyone have a Great Christmas!!

    Was awesome.
