my Birthday wreck before n after

back night before my birthday on Feb 15th i was pulling out and got clipped by the fire chief in his personal vehicle he was speeding and it was raining. i pulled out slowly n did not see him so he rips the front end off my car i just bought a month before. he gets out stumbling and yelling obviously was drunk. the first on the scene was his son and dep for the fire dept. so short of the story i got screwed by the buddy system. i was in the wrong for not yielding right of way but its difficult to do so when the vehicle that hit you was going 15mph over. but i got 3300 back from insurance and got it fixed for 860 parts and labor and paint!

Before:


After:


and yes i know the corner of the front clip is torn already... thx to my mom pulling over the curb at the apartment.

i know. its got a lazy eye. im not to worried about it though. to fix it all id have to do it pull it out and tweak the fender a bit. but i dont wanna run the risk of messing up my paint or anything else so im just gonna leave it alone.

Find you some stang wheels and some drop spindles. A 245/45 17 should tuck nicely in there. I saw a mustang bullet style wheel on a CV and it looks bad a$$.
