yay...finally

**1MileCrash** · 06-06-2008, 07:53 AM

so tonite i'll finally be getting my car back. the original date i was going to get it back was april 15...but then i got a call that that date was incorrect and i'd get it back on may 15. that day came and went largely due to a newly discovered dent in the doorjam by the kickpanel and a junk front bumper that i purchased. so tonite i finally get to pick up my car. the last time i drove it was around february 1st when i drove it over to the shop. oh there will be pics of the reunion...whether the g/f likes it or not.

"whether the g/f likes it or not" FYI don't hug the car and say I missed you baby, atleast don't do it loud enough for your girlfriend to hear.

hahahaha...she already thinks that i love the car more than her. at least the car doesn't bitch back at me. at any rate...

the car was damaged in a hail storm on 7 june 2007...holy crap right. i drove the car for the rest of the summer all dented to hell...put it away for the winter in about ohhh...early november i guess it was.

One of the many reasons I have 2 of them.

**SAGGIN** · 06-06-2008, 09:50 AM

I'm glad it don't hail storm out here, maybe once in a blue moon. Glad she is will be back on the streets.

Damn! I would've been HOT!

**ls1ya** · 06-06-2008, 08:34 PM

it took 6 week to get my car back after getting the motor rebuilt after a blown rod bearing. so i know your pain, but soon very soon you'll be as happy as i was.

**1MileCrash** · 06-07-2008, 05:52 AM

i had only had the car for about a month when the hail hit. here's a couple teaser pics. i'll get the rest up and some better ones up probably on monday when i have off work.

**1MileCrash** · 06-08-2008, 06:46 AM

here's the full set of pics from the other nite. click on the lil pic and it'll take you there.

You need to get that fogginess out of your headlights. BTW looks good.

**1MileCrash** · 06-09-2008, 08:32 AM

i've tried a few different compounds on the headlights combined with hand buffing and high speed buffing and even a high grit sandpaper and some wet sanding but nothing works. the plastic is actually etched and discolored. when i get the cash i'm just going to get a new pair and save myself the pain and suffering.

**2000silverbullet** · 06-09-2008, 09:10 AM

what kind of hood and spoiler are those?

**hoss 2000 z-28** · 06-09-2008, 11:57 AM

Can I take a guess?

VFN Sunoco Bolt-On hood w/line and RK Sport 3 piece spoiler?

Congrats on getting her back. Separation does indeed make the heart grow fonder! Your Z looks great.

**the shag** · 06-09-2008, 01:01 PM

That spoiler is the factory RS spoiler. What SHOULD be on my car.

**1MileCrash** · 06-09-2008, 09:18 PM

correct shag. the car is a factory Y3F car...RS package. 3 piece rear spoiler and 5 piece ground effects kit. the hood is a VFN 2" cowl hood.

thanks for looking and for the compliments.
