My younger sister had an accident in her Hyundai Accent and insurance didn't cover it, so I've been working on it in the garage over the last couple weeks.

Between several junkyards, I found a color matched fender and door, got a junkyard headlight, wheel and hubcap. I repaired the bumper cover and the tire was still okay. The strut was bent, so I replaced both front struts with new Carquest ones. I ordered new inner and outer tie rods from RockAuto.

I noticed a strong fuel smell from the car while it was in the garage, so I inspected that issue, and saw the fuel tank was rusted and leaking at one of the seams. I got it removed (it was 110% full of gas, BTW), and I'm going to pick up a salvage tank tomorrow.

While I was underneath inspecting the tank, I noticed the rear brakes were looking really rough, so I ordered new pads and rotors from RockAuto. At this point, the body work is done, I painted the replacement wheel today, so I'll have the tire mounted tomorrow and pick up a replacement fuel tank. Then I'm just waiting on RockAuto for tie rods and brakes. It pains me because I know she's not gonna take care of it, but it'll be right at least once when it leaves here.
