I'm $1,000.00 away from driving my WS6 again! Damaged door, bad Hydrolics, and issues Lalo (Eugene) from Lalo's body shop in grand prairie came by today to give me an estimate on rehanging my drivers side door. (hinges bent from rolling back by the curb 
). He said that for 575 he can repair the crack in the door, paint, and re hang it with new mounts. for another 1k he can wetsand and polish the entire car, repaint the front bumper, repair the blisters on the top, repair and replace my cracked rocker panel, remove the chips off the headlamps and repaint, fix the rear bumper, and some other ods and ends.
Seems like a great deal to me... make my car look new again and for under 1500.00 bucks.
Also said he would fix the wife's car (acid burns and scratches) for 275.00
I just got a new tranny installed (Jason at TDP).. .and new clutch (Billy at TRT) and am having serious issues with the Hydrolics...... should be able to get this fixed for under 250.00 if it is only a bad master.
It sucks not driving your car for over 3 months!!!!

What the heck happened man? I knew I hadn't seen you at the track! I have been winning $$ on Thursdays!! I also went to brackets for the 1st time on Saturday and made it to round 3 (out of 6). Not bad for a 1st timer. Sorry about your car; don't let someone real cheap paint it though. Hope you get it up and running soon!!
