I havent posted up anything about my car in a long time, but I guess it is prolly time to...

Well in the beginning of august this year, we had a huge hail storm and my car got hit... hard. My dad runs a body shop, so I am kind of lucky, but its still sad...

That was just my window, the rest of the car had major damage too... My dad estimated it to be almost $5,000 in damage. Worst thing is that I only have liability insurance, so I couldnt afford the prices to fix it at the time. If I would have had full coverage, the car would have been totalled out. Anyways, the hail damaged both front and rear windows enough that they had to be replaced, and about a million dents ranging from golf ball sized to baseball sized.

Both windows were replaced right away, but costed $500 for rear window and $300 for front... (this is with discount....) My dad was generous enough, because they were so busy with hail damage that a pdr guy was in their shop, that he had my roof pdr'd for me, and he said that was 1600 for that, but it was a gift to me... so now and this is how my car is currently, i only have a bad hood, fender, and 2 dents in hatch. But atm I have fenders off, and am fixing them myself... Which brings me to the next bad news...

I was in auto at school, and it was time to leave, i get in my car to back it out, and as i am moving, i hear clunk, clunk, clunk... i stop, get out, and take a look around to find this...

Now i have my motor pulled, to fix the tranny, put a new timing belt on, and a new clutch... but while i have all that out, i decided to do a wiretuck, so this is how my car is sitting as of right now...
