This winter's project: fixing $11,000 of damage to my rex
�
�
[SIZE=4]As many of you probably know a tree fell on my rex last month, well I started fixing it and ordering new parts today and I have some pics.

Damn, that tree must have been pretty big to do that much damage in that many places!!!
| WRXMikeH | 12-21-2003 06:52 PM |
That sucks.. Good luck fixing it all. Did you not have insurance?
| the2rz | 12-21-2003 07:14 PM |
yea........no insurance?
good luck!
good luck!
| kenshiro | 12-21-2003 08:01 PM |
Oh hell yeah I have insurance. That woulda totally sucked if I didn't. The cool thing is that they cut me a big fat check so I'm using the money to buy all aftermarket parts and I'm doing all the work myself. My friend who paints cars for a living is going to spray it for me in a shop after I fix all the dents. It's nice knowing people that are into cars, comes in handy when you need help with stuff you don't know how to do yourself.
I fixed that under fender in the first pic. I just bent it back to place by hand. And I bent the trunk back into place by hand too but it's not good enough.
Anyways, I'm done working on this crap for now, I'm cold as hell. I need to buy a heater for the garage. I'll post some pics when I get farther. Next time I'm going to remove the interior and start pushing some dents out. Laters.

hey what's up dude. long time no post er whatever.
Yeah dude, part of me wanted it totalled, but then I got thinking that it would totally suck because I owe almost as much as it's worth, so I woulda ended up with no rex and no money. That woulda totally sucked. This is much cooler because I get all the mods I've been wanting to do but couldn't afford and also get my car fixed.
Baldturbofreak is gonna help with the work. He's the one who owns the welders and some of the tools I don't have. If we totally can't do something we'll just pay this other guy to come over and help out. Also, btf's uncle owns a shop so if we need a lift we can drive it over there all busted up, hahaha, that'd be great.

Yeah a tree. That was a bad day, I was pissed.
[img]http://www.moviereviewsthatdontsuck.com/nasioc/treeOnRex01.JPG[/img]
If I woulda restored it back to stock condition I woulda had about $7K left over after it was fixed, but I'm upgrading it while I fix it, so I should only have like $3K in the end. And that'll probably go to new gears or something.

Looks like a whole forest fell on your car!
Good luck with the work, keep us up on the progress.

It's not too hard, it takes about 5 or 10 minutes to get it off. You need to take the plastic side sill off by unsnapping the little snappy things, then you gotta undo the plastic in the wheel well (it's easier if you jack it up and take the wheel off), then open up the door and there two nuts you need to unscrew, one way at the bottom and one up higher. Then there's 4 nuts you need to unscrew up top under the hood. Then you have to take the front grill off by pushing in the plastic tabs, then take the headlight out so you can get at the snap on things under there. Actually maybe it'll take like 30 minutes, I forgot how much stuff needs to come off. And you gotta be careful when you pull it off because they bend pretty easy.

There was a big huge wind storm up here that day. A top of a tree broke off, flew over the house and landed on the corner of my car. Luckily a few things stopped the tree before it hit the car, so it wasn't as bad as it coulda been.
I wasn't as unlucky as some people though. This lady was driving down the street by my work that day and a tree fell right on her car as she drove by it and crushed her. They mention it in this article: [url]http://www.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2003/11/13/256693-cp.html[/url]

Made some progress. The whole front end is pretty much fixed. Now we're working on the doors, roof and rear quarter panels.

You should get the STi back window that has the rear wiper, that would be cool.

Ha, I didn't even think about the STi rear window with the wiper. That woulda probably cost a lot though. I got a good deal on the replacement window, something like $150.
I'm not working on it tonight, I need a break. We were in there for like 5 hours last night.

Sorry to hear about the loss man, that's bomb a$$ you're doing the work yourself! Props bro.
I sell auto insurance for a living and I'm not sure what state you live in, but some states have laws that you have to disclose any damage over certain amounts to whomever you sell it to. Any smart buyer will find it on a CLUE check of the VIN like CarFax. Anyways, the insurance companies don't like to disclose this, but if you're state has that law and your damage was over that amount ($5000) in Iowa, they have to reimburse you for the loss that you will take on the resale. I hate to see people get dicked over by claims agents. I hope they compensated you for that, and if they didn't you may still be able to get that out of them with some effort, that is if you're state has that law.

Doh. Didn't see before that you're from NY. Here's the NY insurance commissioner's website. Besides giving a lot of basic information about auto policies you can look at the rates by company for your territory based on a 20yr old unmarried male.

RallyFord, I don't understand all that mumbo jumbo on that site :) Do you think I should call my insurance company and get money for that?
128d, yeah dude it's a ton of work but in the end I'll have saved $7,000 in labor because I'll have done it myself. I'm using that money for more mods. Plus, it's fun learning about body work, I don't mind working on the WRX I just hate working on my POS winter car because it's all rusty.

kenshiro,
The best thing to do since the claim has been settled is probably to contact the insurance commissioner via phone or email and ask them about it. The Commissioner is there to help the consumer through regulation of the companies and agents. It may be that in NY there is no such disclaimer law, but it's definitlely worth asking about, never know, it could land you and extra grand or so.

I got my new door today :)
It's got a couple scatches and it's white, but that's ok cuz I'm painted the whole car anyway.
Front end is almost done :banana:
EDIT: Oh yeah I almost forgot. Me and BTF are fabricating a full roll cage while we have the interior out. I'm going to paint the cage the same color I decide to paint the outside. It's gonna be sweet. I'm about to run 11's next summer (hopefully) so I need a roll bar anyway per IHRA rules. Actually it's 11.5's and slower but I'm planning on beating that anyway.

Awesome... I was going to do the same thing with my integra. I ended up with $5,000 worth of hail damage on it last April... but the car was only worth about $8K so I just saved the money for another 6 months and got a WRX.
Serious props for the restoration project!

We got a unispotter and started pulling dents:
[img]http://www.moviereviewsthatdontsuck.com/nasioc/fixingakuma14.jpg[/img]
Marked all the points for pulling:
[img]http://www.moviereviewsthatdontsuck.com/nasioc/fixingakuma16.jpg[/img]
Then welded a bunch of nails on there so we could pull them out:

Bolted up my new front mount intercooler too:

It took us freakin 7 hours yesterday just to pull the dents out. Kinda fun though.

OK, some updates.
I got my new driver side door. It was actually cheaper and waay less of a PITA to just buy a new door than to fix that one because of the way the door was made. I forgot to take a pic of that door though, it's black off of a '02 WRX like mine.
We started sanding the clear coat off so the new paint will stick.
[img]http://www.moviereviewsthatdontsuck.com/nasioc/fixingakuma21.jpg[/img]
I decided to paint it jet black, because black's my favorite color, it'll go good with the STi headlights and carbon fiber, plus I never liked the blue mica.
[img]http://www.moviereviewsthatdontsuck.com/nasioc/fixingakuma22.jpg[/img]
We threw some metal glaze on the minor dents. I'll be sanding it down like this weekend or sometime to make it match the lines.
It's getting there. I expect to be done like sometime in the spring or early summer...

I wish I had skills to do stuff like that :( then I wouldn't have to pay a place to fix my stupid little dings or little spots of rust

[B]Kaminari hood? What's the quality like? I'm trying to decide on a CF hood when I go FMIC - is yours the TXS Hyperflow? [/B][/QUOTE]
The hood is amazing. I was really impressed. It's probably the nicest CF hood I've ever seen. The FMIC is just a Greddy, I got it for $500 with all the piping.

are you painting the hood?
| kenshiro | 02-25-2004 02:00 PM |
Naw, I like the CF look. It's gonna be black anyway, they look good on black cars.

updates?

No, not really. I got my new roof last week, that's about it.
The tasks left to do are:
remove windshield
install new roof
Fix a few more dents
sand the clear coat off
paint the car
reinstall the doors, hood, trunk, fenders
I think I should be done in like two months :mad: :)
