Whats up yall? So ive owned this car for two years now and It was pretty decent when i bought it with an amateur paint job done by somebody in their garage, looked pretty nice but if you examined it up close it had some issues. It was ok for a driver and thats exactly what i did with it for a while. I had some thoughts on what i would like to do with it eventually but i wasnt really in a rush.
The day i brought it home
Did small things to it while i was driving it like some craigslist 17" billet wheels, picked up a 2" steel cowl hood, and bought ALL new MOOG suspension and steering as well as some belltech 2" drop spindles and OPGI 2" rear drop springs. Also got an Energy Suspension poly bushings kit
Then last February one Saturday Morning some genius decided to make a left turn into a driveway from the right lane right in front of me and i ended up tagging their rear quarter at 25 mph! Damn it!
Dont look too bad right? Well their insurance company decided that it was just a piece of sh*t 1978 Malibu and said it was only worth $2300 and had roughly $4000 in damage so they TRIED to total it! WRONG ANSWER ALLSTATE INSURANCE! I argued and argued with them that i wasnt going to let it go that easy and they wouldnt deal so in comes my attorney! Sucks for them cause they coulda paid just $4000 and been done with it but after a little court battle i was awarded $15,000! Winning!
So into the body shop she went but it wasnt going to be a simple collision repair anymore but a full on re-paint... A very nice re-paint!
