Default Revival

I bought this car back in August, was smashed by the old lady that owned it. Airbags deployed which destroyed the dash, and had front end damage. Got it for 1300 bucks. Frame had to be straightened, needed a hood, fender, head light assembly, whole dash, airbags, front bumper, and bumper support. Finally got most of the work done, kind of got side tracked with winter as snowboarding takes over my life then, but finally was able to commit some time to her and put her back together for the most part. Now it's time to prep for paint, then the real fun can finally begin. Only has 90k miles, and it's a hardtop A4.
