Very, very impressive. I love the red and black theme. And what happened in the accident?
By the way, its very nice to see people who care enough about their Tempos to customize them as much as you do, and then even repair them after a wreck. All the other people I know who had/have Tempos, just get rid of them after they do not work.

Thanks man. The wreck happened last April. I was out cruising with a friend (he was in front of me) and a honda Del Sol started messin with me. My friend floored it, and so did the Del Sol and I. We came flying upto a street light and my friend slammed on his brakes cause the light was truning yellow, and i was expecting him to go through it, but didnt. I didnt have enough room or time to stop and hit him pretty good, doing most of the damage to my car. He has a Saturn, so the bumper just popped right out. I've done a lot of things to keep this car going though. So far i have about 3100 bucks into the car, and i'm looking to keep it on the road a lot longer.

That sucks, but at least you restored it to perfect again.

It's actually in better condition now, then it was when i bought it... the car had a reconstructed title, and i'm guessing it was in 2 accidents before i bought it (although insurance company claims only one) the passenger's side rear door is different (paint is webbing). I'm guessing that door was replaced and painted from one accident. Also, when i took off my front bumper, i found that the radiator support was all bent outta shap in a different location than the point of impact. So i ended up getting some hammers and molded it all back into shape. I cant complain with the final product, considering I did it myself, and i've never done body work before.
