Some pictures of whats been going on lately. She hydroplained into a guard rail last year ( bald tires FTL ) and is finally getting fixed. Thanks to my man John Heyanka at Browns Auto Body in CT.

front bumper finished, front license plate removed with the three holes from the plate holder now gone and freshly painted.

before gloss

starting gloss
also notice part of my cf hood has been painted





wetsanding plus buffing tommorow and i will have her back

 

Nice; always tough to find a bodyshop that really know what they're doing. Hope she turns out good as new

 

Thank you Browns has been in buisness over 60 years and do A+ quality work. everything from rim repair, to typical accident repair, to custom body builds and paint, to hotrods and exotics. Theres a 193X coupe there with louvers cut in the trunk all done by hand and they are as uniform as can be. its amazing the work thats done there. Plus im good friends with all the guys there so they did a couple extra things for me such as parts of the cf hood painted, and my liscense plate removed and the holes filled since they had to repaint the bumper. i coulda had the car back friday by normal standards but their taking extra time to make sure she comes out perfect since im good friends with everyone there.

 

damn that actually looked sexy as hell without the clear lol

 

agreed.... I was just about to say: looks badass with the satin finish

 

i was thinking the same thing when i walked in and saw it in the booth lol

buddy just called me. shes all buffed out and wetsanded. assembly tommorow and then shes mine again. will take finished pictures

 

will take side pictures tommorow. paint is like glass.
no plate anymore plus sides of my hood painted. i love it

 

so ****** beautiful

 

thank you, youll see her soon enough

 

damn looks good as hell

 

Looks sharp!

important question


Did you get new tires before you hydroplane again?

 

lol loretta but nice clean up i love what you did with the hood

 

thanks


thank you
and
lol no the stock rims still have home made slicks on them. i switched over to my aftermarket wheels. theyll need new rubber before the end of 2010 but theyll get it.

thank you. ill take more pictures tommorow and post them of the work. i was just so exited to have my car back today i drove around all over the place

 

loks great man

 

thanky thanky

 

just reminds me of how shitty my car looks lol .. i need a new paint job.. / at least to touch up all the scrapes all over RAWR

 

looks like u havent learned your lesson, i still see bald rubber in that picture, lets hope you didnt waste your money getting it all fixed just to smash it again.

Not too sound too harsh BUT it just sounds stupid to get new paint before fixing the problem that caused you to need new paint. Guess thats just me

 

its above the wear lines, looks like i still have time to learn my lesson. i mean i wait until it at least gets to the wear lines before i replace my tires. guess thats just me

also tires are no where near as bald as the camera makes them out to be in the picture.

 

Yea ok goodluck with that, just because it's barely above the wear lines doesn't mean it won't hydroplane, sure the pic may make them look worse but I don't imagine them lookin much better in person

 

dont bother posting if you want to keep bitching about the tires. thanks

 

looks sexy as hell man!
glad you put some nice lovin back into her.

 

thanks man, yeah since i got the damage from the guard rail fixed plus these extras on shes become my baby again.... now i just have to get these boxes in front of me installed, my new custom gauge cluster installed with dual interceptors, my steering rack spacers in, and this nice shiny heat exchanger behind the front bumper now. all in do time tho.... how you like your new car? looks nice

 

i understand, i'd cry if that happened to my cobalt. it'd have been my first priority. get the zzp heat exchanger. I installed it it about 2 weeks ago on a friends car and the install was a piece of cake. no drilling, no fabricating or fitting. plus it weights like 4-5 lbs.

i love the new cobalt, it drives a lot nicer than the ls and just overall is def faster.
i still have some new plans for her as usual .

did you ever get that gauge pod for the front of the steering wheel?
lol, i'm sorry about that...i wonder if my parents sent it off with someone elses stuff.
i still to this day have not found it, and i want it now for a boost gauge lol.

 

lol i have one from SMG where I get tuned at. he sells parts as well so i picked up a SMG fm h/e and a SMG Dual pass. they bolt right on and everything just have to find the time to get up there to get it done.

nah i went with a custom made gauge pod that goes where the rest of the factory gauges are.

oh i bet its alot faster than the ls. i like the color

 

sucks to hear it when you know im right, oh well, i'll stay outa your thread, peace
