Default Driveway Bodyshop

Well after the hit and run, being left with no choice but to pay for repairs out my own pocket.I say F the body shop this is just a beater. A little bondo, sanding, primer and paint doesnt look too bad. I can live with it.

There was also a large bit of body damage that was already "fixed". It needed to be dealt with too.

Not bad for a home job. I've never been good with body work so it puts anythingI could do to shame. At least the damage wasn't too bad to begin with.
