Default my z is finally back from the dead.

so 8 months ago i was leaving church whenever it was snowing, and being for texas that is really odd, anyway... i went over a bridge and crashed into the center divider going prolly 35-40mph, and well the results weren't pretty
The bad/ugly:


Luckily both fenders were fine, and the frame was not bent at all!
oh, and the airbags didn't deploy. hmm, wonder if they work lol
anyways, now to the rebuild:





then the bumper, and hood.



then comes the paint work, along with a few other engine bay mods, and new tires!










sorry for the crappy pictures, all i have is my phone.

anyways, i'm happy. just figured I'd share!

"engine bay mods" no performance stuff, just like the wire tuck, hood latch tuck, painted valve covers and rattled caned the actual bay, and stuff like that.

nice work....I like your ramps, I'd like to get some but I don't know if they'd work up an incline driveway like mine. I'm seriously tired of jacking my car up all the time, I have to really want to do it because it is kind of a pain with the low car and the airdam and all.
