I'm assuming that the frame rails weren't bent in any of the rollovers pictured in this thread...? They seem like single-roll accidents, not the type where a random tree (or in my case, light pole) added to the damage by forming more complicated bends in the body, yes? Curious... very curious.


Amazing job with the fixin's, though!!!!
 






The wrecker I go to always has cars for sale out front...I guess this is how they do it eh?!

Looks good:thumbsup:
 






Won't it still have a salvage or total loss rebuild title?
 






Hey Danderson! Would you happen to have any pictures of that custom mixed two tone interior you talked about earlier in this thread? Thanks :)

It *should* by all rights... But most likely won't. That's why it pays to look for nicks and scratches where the paint wasn't completed... Poke and prod corners. Yes, the work is remarkable, but it's a labor of love. It's not dollars and cents smart, that's for sure.

i wouldn't say look for nicks and scratches, but how dose things line up, all your body gaps in the doors and hood, as well any wind whistles and such. i'm not slamming his work, but i have never been a fan of some one splicing to vehicles into one.
 






looks great guys keep up the god work
 






I can tell you as a fact- our Exs are writen off by insurance companys for a hell of a lot less than that in the uk!
Great work, you could make a livin here mate!
 






Wow gr8 job. Turned out sweet:thumbsup:
 






Well...after seeing all this remarkable work I have regained confidence in believing that the repair of my '92 X is not outside of reason (much to all my friends and family's chagrin). I will post pics and progress once i get into it. Compaired to what I'vejust seen, my project should be a cake walk.
 






awesome work u guys did

Mine too, other than the non 2nd gen parts I used. I/we did a great job of merging and sealing the parts. Some shops do a very very sloppy job at sealing up areas that are worked on. That crap is how new rust comes back in etc. My truck is not needed any longer for work, so I'll sell it eventually. But I'm proud to know that it has no rust, it had some small rust before, and it's all sound.

Post some final pictures if you can, I need to go back to do that with mine as well.
