richfactor Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Wrecked my baby last month and wanted to share my pics with you. Didn't have my dig. camera so had to use my cell phone. Front end damage In the middle of the tear down, the worst of the damage was to the drivers side fender wheel well which was spot welded on. I drilled the welds out and removed the panel. Bolted a new panel on as it was a hell of a lot faster than if I were to spot weld it on. Plus its removable now, just in case, lol. Finished thanks to a $200 donor xj I picked up off of craigslist, two miles from my house. Now my baby is in the shop getting painted, Dark silver metallic pearl. Currently looking for black rims and tires and a small lift to complete the exterior. This thing is a beast it took a hell of a hit and stood up really well.

Oizarod115 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 mustve been a very careful wreck! can't even tell anymore... the unibody all right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfactor Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yeah it's the unibody, only way you can tell it was wrecked is if you look under the fenders and see the 1/4-20 bolts that I used to put the inner panel on. I was suprised how easy and perfectly everything fit from the XJ. Just glad my new radiator came away unscathed. I had to fix it though, love my truck to much to junk it, which is what everyone thought I was gonna do :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
