The Project Pad

So the independent appraiser finally came out and saw my car, and it was good to have someone else look over it with me and discuss the damage. From my research, using the average price of used parts, I came up with about $3500 in parts, including a professionally installed windshield and $350 for misc stuff/pieces/hardware. Figure in another $2500 for paint, and I'm happy. (And I know I can do much, much better than $3500 for the parts, I was just going off car-part.com retail pricing) But now I wait on what the adjuster has to offer.

In the meantime, I swapped on a Beetle steelie, bandaged the torn intercooler hose with a Smart Water bottle and some zip ties and drove her into my shop...



Honestly, I think the hardest part of the repair would be getting the door off and replacing the rocker panel. Otherwise, most everything else is a bolt-on affair.

Of course while perusing fleabay I came across something I never in a million years would've thought I'd like - a body kit!

But its actually kind of awesome:



Its way more than budgeted for in my estimate, but I can make it work. What do you think?

I say sell me your seats lol.

That kit is pretty clean. Looks factory.

I want to know how much boost that smart water bottle will handle before exploding

I actually have some grey TT coupe seats that are in excellent shape that I need to sell. Shipping to Idaho may be a bit pricy, however

I need black unfortunately. Preferrably leather, heater, and manual. Im interested in what you end up doing with the tt. Sucks when these things happen. Im still interested in the pressure capacity of a smart water bottle

My green roadster has heated black seats, I'll let you know if I end up parting it.

Cool just let me know. No rush and Im sure shipping them via greyhound wont be too bad
