[greezmunky]

Finally got around to taking some pics. I wont really get started on the car for another month or two. Server is a little slow and pics are a little big.. please be patient.

Thought I'd take a crack at fixing the hood. So far I'm pretty happy with the results.

Hi,

You've certainly got vision, and a heck of a job ahead of you. But take heart, I've seen much worse. You should forward your pics to Keen Young, a guy in our local club who's recontructing an S4 with twice the damage your's has. Keen is fairly expert and has raised two other Esprits from the jaws of death. He can probably save you some aggrevation...Jim '85TE

It's not that bad, from what I hear it does not have frame damage. Not comfirmed yet per frame point measurments or anything. Just some A pillar damage. I guess it all depends on what he is willing to spend and how good a job he want's it to be verses the resale value of the car. Good project though.

Wow, really like your project. And can't wait for more stuff.

The rims are really nice. And if they are in good condition I would keep them.

Hope you wore gloves doing the fibreglassing, ouch not nice getting that stuff up your sleeve.

Wow, how did it get into that state? Do you have any history on the car? PO was a bit careless!

Check out what the S4 originally looked like a few years ago.
