stupid deer

[shorestiva]

Hit a deer last night







its all body damage i think and can still drive it but I'm going to park it till i can fix it all and repaint the whole car
so until then I'm driving a civic that currently has no exhaust and severe clutch slip

That sucks. Well since its down it will be a good time to swap in that b6t

4 years ago I did similar damage to my old Festiva, I hit a 6pt buck!

so far my plan is to completely strip it and repaint it Fiji blue (conquest/starion oem color), replace the cracked windshield (gotts to love lifted trucks with huge rock throwing tires), and then put the b6t in along with some other parts Ive been collecting

Looks like sheet metal damage from here. Probably pull out the radiator support and put some new lights in it. Festivas are very easy to bend and unbend.

I had a jacked up front like that when my Festy was hit years ago, with hammers I was able to straighten out my front near the radiator, it pounds out easy with some work and then just replace that light and fender and maybe inner mud guard if damaged. Go to a junk yard and I bet you can find you some cheap. Some yards though are costly on those lenses. Sorry to hear what happened hope you got some venison out of it. You need a front end like that one Festy with the grill that looks like teeth and scare them Bambi's outa the way. :lol:
Don't loose hope and get her fixed.

i started pulling apart today I'm going to have to replace the fender, lights, and hood. then i just have to straighten everything. I'm also going to replace the doors it dented the passenger side pretty good and a guy ran into me at the spot the other week and dented the drivers side. :x luckily i have everything on the parts car they're just red and have a few surface rust spots so I'm going to repaint it all and straighten all the other dents and rust it has.
