Off to the body shop tomorrow

Well, it looks like my ordeal with the construction company is at an end, the parts are waiting for me in the shop and my car is going in tomorrow morning.

Hopefully Enterprise will get me something halfway decent to drive around in for the next few days (I think my 6'6 frame wouldn't handle a Chevy Aveo too well).

I'll post pictures here of the completed work.

Got the car back today, really pleased with the job he did, even fixed a door sensor and marker lamp that had been broken for a while unrelated to the bumper. Anyone who needs to get some body work done in the NYC area, I highly recommend this guy, shoot me a PM if you want his info.

Here are pics of the after, the picture of the rear bumper, I don't have a before but there was an 8-10 inch long L shaped crack in that area before, which was repaired with epoxy. See the before pics here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...-bad-luck.html

The last picture, I just got a kick out of when I saw it in the projects where I work. (If you're missing the joke, take a closer look at the spelling)
