Default Roger's Recycle Reduce Reuse REBUILD thread

It's true some people just can't let things go. I've decided to keep the car and rebuild it as crazy as that sounds. So on this thread I'll keep you guys updated on the progress. For those who don't know I recently rolled my car. It's mostly body panel damage. Mechanically it needs a lower control arm in the front and new motor mounts. Evidently Honda didn't engineer these cars for inverted flight because when the car landed upside down the engine mounts came apart! I know crazy right. Other than that the car runs and drives fine. No frame damage. The hood opens and closes as well as the doors and trunk, even though they're all smashed up. So now begins the rebuild process. Here are some before and after shots of the car. I'll try and get some hardtop pics up.

Awesome that you are going to make her "Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster" I think you should rename it Steve Austin after the 6 million dollar man.
