so about six months ago my brother took my car down to joshua tree, and claims he hit a tree, but living in san fran is expensive for him so guess who got stuck with the bill. i finally got all the parts and got it sent out to the body shop, here are the before pics. ill post after once the car comes out of the shop, look at my other little brother looking so concerned in the back

wow dude that looks bad!how much is that gonna run u to fix?

rediahad

parts alone were about 3g's, that is the new hood that i had to get, i had to get hood fender bumper support, radiator and all components, new hid lights casue both were messed up, airbag and a whole mess of stuff, i think at the end it will be something a little south of 5k, i called the ins and they said that since he wasn't covered on my policy i gotta pay for it, so i have been slowly getting parts for the passed 6 months. it should be done tomorrow

Hows the trans fluid level? Did they correct the level after replacing the radiator? And was is it leaking any due to the accident (trans fluid)?

rediahad

good question, it leaked about a half a quart, i was hoping it wouldn't make a big difference till i got it to the dealership to get serviced

rediahad

just got off the phone with the dealership, you were right ruination, the body shop didnt put any fluid in the transmission at all, HATERS!!
