Maybe you could take out the light assembly and work the fender out while still attached to bracing...just a guess. Even dented it is a pretty car! The deer should have picked an ugly car...not this pretty one!
    Yeah, I'll try to get some of the dents out myself, and yes it does still look good dented.

    Me too, thats cool This ones just going to be brought back to it's former glory, may paint the bumpers like I did on Old Red.

    How much do you think it would cost to ship that grille to 56368? I am pretty good with plastic welding...
    I don't think you'd want it, it's beat up alot, you'd be better off getting a brand new one off ebay for $20, thats where I got the Grill I put on Old Red.

          For now just fix it up good enough to pass inspection, so we can start driving it, then fix the dents/paint, the interiors nice. This one won't take near as long as Old Red, it'll probably be done before Old Red:p

                I think you should keep old red! Yeah, the white one is very sharp...but you fought a hard battle to keep old red!!! Get old red a nice white stripe and change your mind...the stripe IS seductive.

                  I won't be losing Old Red, I'd still get to drive it and everything since I worked on it. I'll be happy as long as I have a Festiva but I really like this new one, it drives really good, and it has manual seat belts (I hate those electric ones) Also it's only got around 130,000 on it vs. the 211,000 Old Red has...

                      But didnt your parents want an auto and now they got one. I think you should keep the red one and you can still drive the white one. Like you said before you get to work on both anyway.

                        Yeah, I'm trading with them I like this new one alot! My dad doesn't care for the color and likes the Red better, and I prefer the white with the hockey stripe, so the white one will be my new ride I always liked white ones, and hockey stripes

                            Yes, I'm leaving the white one how it is, It runs good, shifts good, and has good power. They're going to get Old Red swapped. I've already started to fix up the white one today

                              sounds like you had second thoughts on driving a stick.
