Default teh PuRpL3 v2.0... work in progress...

Stopped by the body shop today to drop off some parts, and took some pics of my Formula in the body shop being fixed. They had it in being measured...

The damage underneath the nose is minimal... they said if I could have picked a spot that had to be hit, this was the perfect spot. All it damaged was the fascia, impact absorber, and impact bar.

It appears this isn't the first time the car has been in a body shop... dead giveaway is that we noticed that they masked off the Formula emblem on the door and painted around it.... so now they have to flatten that out.

The marks you see all over the body are the areas that need attention... they're determined to make it look considerably better than it did before the damage occured... I really like this body shop so far, they are real straight forward.













Here's a good look at all that was damaged... you can see that it's smashed in and bent down and under. It's not really gonna take a lot to fix, which is gonna make things go a lot easier..







They said they might have it done in as early as 2 weeks! Damn... I was expecting like a month.
