Got my car back! Well as everyone knows I wrecked my car back in january and I finally got it back today and I took pictures of it. I am really happy with the work that was done and pretty much everything on the car was replaced. The bill came out to 11,000 dollars of work. I am posting before and after pictures just in case someone didnt see. I am in the process of putting blackbird stripes on and thats why there is paper on the hood. The stripes and trans am door stickers are silver with metallic flecks so it isn't white like in the pictures.

It drives totally different... before driving it could be described as loose and unresponsive and it would wiggle really hard. The rims, tires,axel and all suspension has been replaced along with the front bumper and side panel and my headlight motors.

hehe yeah I thought I would be able to tell that it was in a wreck but apparently it had been in a wreck before the one I had and it was suffering then and my insurance had to fix all the problems the previous wreck had.
It drives like it was brand new right off the car lot, I couldn't be happier.
The guys at the shop accidently lost one of my radio ***** though and now the inside of my car looks ghetto.

wicked man.
one question...did insurance pay for it or did you...because fixing a car with a $11k price tag would not be in the plans in my book...but if insurance payed for 75% of it then yea...
either way...NBM=
FTMFW!!!

Yes well they said my car was worth 16k according to the insurance so they would rather pay 11 than 16 heh. I didn't have to pay a dime.
The rims are brand new and they were 700 each. ouch

Should have worked with the body shop and had them not buy those rims, give you the money, and put it towards tt2's or something... But other than that I'm very happy that your experience has been a positive one!

Yeah it is very swirley because they buffed it with this weird dust stuff and totally covered my engine bay with it, I can't get it off.
I have yet to clean it yet. I would have liked to have different rims but this is a car that I need all the original stuff to it so I can sell if I have to.
My grandfather works at GM and he is all about the original stuff being on it, he did most of the work with the insurance company.
