Break it, Build it, Crash it, Fix it

So as many of you probably know, the Mr2 was crashed months ago... and for the 1000th time, I swore it was over and I would never put myself through this again.

...which is why I've decided to keep it and toy with the bodywork it needs.
She took guardrail damage from nose to tail on the driver's side. I've never done bodywork before, which is probably a bad idea becuase I'm very impatient when it comes to hammering shit into place. I failed miserably at arts and crafts I didn't unbolt the fender tonight as much as I tore the fucking thing the hell off the frame.
No exact idea as to how she'll end up. All I have to work with is a very wide set of wheels and tires, so any replacement stuff will have to fit over that!
I'll update this thread periodically as I get futher into it, with more pics.

Tonight:

Scott Barton owns. I used his car as inspiration for my initial buildup of my car... before it met a guardrail, anyway.
Had no idea you knew him. I'd always wanted to meet him to ask him questions about the car.

Now my car's about to take a radically different direction.

Yeah. I still keep his page on my favorites when I'm referencing stuff about the car. He did everything cleanly and that's rare in this hobby.
The main difference now is, I'm forced to consider widebody and prep the car for SM2 competition. His car didn't have any body damage.
