9lumina6 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Posted November 17, 2009 The above posts were talking about doors but now I see hes talking to Galen... Theres a silver GT in my yard with a good fender if you get desperate, they would probably take $75 and I could bring it to Ohio in Jan... What year is it?? If it's 97-00 than it's my color......if its 01-03 it's a different silver. Quote
AL Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Will find out later this week and let you know Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 Got my New fender and my GTX hood back from the body shop. As most of you know, back in November I hit a 6 point Buck at 60mph on the interstate just before I put the car away for the winter. Some pics. Never had the rocker cover off before....and This is why this car does not go thru winters!!! Hood & fender all painted ready to go back on. The new door all stripped down of the interior pannel and wiring harness. Ready to go on. Went to theInsurance office & DMV today and got everything switched over to NY again and got new Tags so it'd all ready to rock & roll once it's back together monday or tuesday. Quote
Twenty Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 She's coming along! Glad to see the damage was just cosmetic. How does the new paint look, does it match? Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Posted March 19, 2010 She's coming along! Glad to see the damage was just cosmetic. How does the new paint look, does it match? I havent held the new parts up to the car yet to be honest.....but the same guy thatre-finished & painted my spoiler back in the fall did the hood and fender...and used the exact same batch of paint he still had leftover from the spoiler...and that matched 98%...so I'm sure itl be fine.

9lumina6 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Posted March 20, 2010 ^^^^ once again.... thanks again to Al for bringing that fender to me from Nebraska. Quote
AL Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 No problem dude! I am waiting for pics of it all back together! Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Posted March 20, 2010 No problem dude! I am waiting for pics of it all back together! In due time. Dave has been helping out w/ getting it all back together. He's down in NYC for the weekend....but hopefully monday evening we will have the exterior finished/all lined up and the wiring harness fed back thru the new door......then Tuesday I can put the interior pannel back together.

Euro Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Car's gonna look goood!!! And damn you for having clean rockers!!! lol Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 A little more progress that Dave, myself and our buddy did today. We SHOULD have it 95-100% done tomorrow evening. Quote
Twenty Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Nice! It looks like the paint matches pretty well too. Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Nice! It looks like the paint matches pretty well too. Yeah suprisingly the pieces match very good. Not perfict....but for having the hood/fender w/ new paint...and the new door off another car.....it all comes together very nicely. You REALLY have to try to look for the color variences, and even then it's hard to notice. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Looking good! Do you have to go through any BS with the title or is it still good and clear? Quote
Twenty Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Looking good! Do you have to go through any BS with the title or is it still good and clear? Why, was there an accident? There was no accident. We saw nothing... Quote
9lumina6 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Looking good! Do you have to go through any BS with the title or is it still good and clear? Still good and clear. Because I still had a Florida tag & title on the car at the time of the accident...something w/ how their total loss laws are different than NY. The car got totaled...but the Florida title never got branded. I just went to the DMV on Friday and gave them my Florida title and transfered everything over to NY....Got NY plates, and they will be sending me my Clean NYS title in a few weeks. Quote
