As some of you know, my 92 SC was severely damaged by a freak hailstorm in the DC area a few weeks back. Numerous body shops said that the insurance company will total the car. But my insurance didn't total the car but gave me $2900.00 to get repaired. That with $1500.00 I am adding to it will allow my body shop to do a complete paint and body work on it. Just want to post pics on progress. The SC has a 1jz stock the odo shows 225.000+ miles. I was very shocked at how much they covered. The adjuster mentioned that if is was a american made car same year mileage. They would have totalled it and cut a check for $1000.00 or less.
Oh Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics.






And can you guess what's in the BOX????

 

Subscribed. Don't give up on her.

 

Whoa! That looks like alot of damage! The trunk looks like it really took a beating. Keep the dream alive Nate!

 

ooo..nice! cant wait to see the finished restoration project!

 

Nice, Cant wait to see how this will look in the end.

 

Yea, there was extensive damage to the hood, driver door, fender and rear quarter, plus roof and trunk. The hail came in at a 45-90% angle. I thought the body shop was going to use PDR (paintless dent removal), but they decided the old fashion was because most of the dents were creased. Now to find a decent car cover. As you can see they do a very thorough job, removing trim and all. It's actually next in line in the paint booth. Same people the painted my GS front end. Manager had a 400hp Volks GTI and is working on a 600hp one. So he is a car not. He will be installing my HKS FMIC too at no additional charge.

 

Nice! Looks like it will turn out great. Is that a FUBU jersey in the pic?

 

looks like something great is going to come out of this one goodluck and dont fail on us!

 

nice- bring her back- its always a pleasure seeing someone restore a beautiful SC- gl and I look forward to seeing the future pictures

 

Yea, that's a FUBU shirt, I am so ashamed. But hey I am over 40 I can get away with it.

 

I predict great things from this car

 

so are you going to keep it Green? lol I really need to get some better insurance for my SC400. I don't think Geico would have gone that hard for me.

 

Yea, Keep it green. I actually love the color at dusk, almost black/green. Besides I am not going to push my luck with the generosity of the shop.

 

Good god there's going to be more bondo in that car than metal. LOL.

Long as it looks good when done.

PS- you need to resize those just a bit. I'm on a high res widescreen and I have more than 40% scroll which is too much for most of our members.

 

Looking good Nate. When will it be back on the road?

Did you get an HKS exhaust?
