Well this week I am getting a 98 Sebring. My dad had originally fixed it cause was hit in the rear, and then sold to my cousin who put 40K+ before hitting a deer. (Has 202,000 miles on it)
I have a photo of the damage to post later but photobucket is doing site maintenance. Well the new hood is silver and has faded paint, and the front grill on the bumper is not there. So I will be making a custom one. I am also going to use some more plasti dip.

Here are some chops, what do you think?

I get a new to me DD every few months, depending on how long it takes me to sell it. This one we are keeping because would be a pain to sell with over 200K on it, even though pretty much everything has been replaced. My uncle takes it in to a shop if there is even a faint chance something is wrong.
the fun part is fitting 3 kids in the back, 2 in boosters and 1 in a car seat.

Well I was just informed that the thermostat might be out. We drove it around on Sunday for about 20 miles with nothing, parents went and drove it yesterday and it started overheating. Well I guess this gives me even more time for some chops.

Should get the car today, had some trouble yesterday as my dad may have forgotten to tighten the radiator cap. Hopefully it will be sitting at my house when I get off work.

Here is the damage pic.

Here is my old Avenger I had, was my favorite car. I added tint, cat back exhaust with magnaflow dual tip muffler, Alpine sterero stuff throughout and some blue neons inside (yeah a little too ricey for me now though)

Well here she is. Mainly just replaced the hood and headlights then straitened everything else. Gonna first work at making the grille insert, then do other things.

Not bad for buying it for $200.

We had orginally bought it awhile back from an insurance auction, fixed it (was hit in the rear), sold it to my cousin who drove for awhile then she hit a deer. So we bought it back from her for $200.

Here is an update from today. I still need to fab up a grille.
Black out hood and part of nose, and also the spoiler. Needs another coat or two for the hood, oh and this is all plasti dipped

Next round of mods will be to black out the lettering, and rims. Heres the chops
