<cough>MR2s are better</cough>



Frame damage is a killer for me... I seriously hate body work, but I'm not setup to do it myself so I try to avoid it completely. I've got a semi nasty hit in the side of the MR2 where there are three plies that all come together, so it's nothing that'll just "pull out"... I know enough to know that I'll be drilling out spot welds, straightening three plies of sheet metal, matching the curve of the exterior layer to the passenger side and then re-welding.... f u d g e.... I really need to get in well with a body guy and work out some trades. The one thing I could do with my '2' would be to just straighten everything as much as possible and then install the TRD widebody kit. It would cover the afflicted are completely.... but I don't know how I feel about that kit. But, the upside is I am capable of all of the install except the painting.

Anyway, sorry for the thread-jack; Just had to share my loathing of body work.
