my poor car has hit everything but the lottery

My body guy is making some progress on the color change/etc and is making interesting discoveries along the way. This is what my poor car has had before I owned her:

Front bumper cover- replaced
Hood- replaced
Left front fender- replaced
Right front fender- replaced
Driver's door- hit (getting reskinned now)
Left rear quarter panel- fixed/painted
Rear bumper cover- replaced
Rear bumper brace- gone
Trunk- crunched

The only original paint on it is the passenger quarter panel and the roof.

damn lol

and I thought that rear quarter drive side replaced was bad in my rolla when I got it

He said it looks like it was rear-ended square in the rear by a motorcycle at 35-40mph. That picture is after he banged the trunk out a bit.

It also looks like my motor/trans/rear crossmember/brakes are all from a JDM clip. Looks like about the only authentic '91 MR2 left is the unibody and part of the interior (seats were replaced by prior owner too).

damn, at 35-40 mph? if thats true, thats pretty wild!

she is better now

can't wait to see finished product!

wrd.

looks good!

what color is that? did they spray the hood and trunk?

Chrysler's Sunburst Orange (PV6). He sprayed the whole car...it would look silly otherwise.

first i thought it was the orange 350z color.

I looked at that, the Chevrolet orange (like on the Cobalts), the metallic Corvette orange, and the 40th anniversary Lotus Elise orange (which is the one that prompted the whole orange idea). I settled on this color and I am glad...it looks amazing.
