Re: Anyone have a rebuilt R (MIMDesign)

I just gave Jeff a deposit this morning on the Black one. I was just wondering if anyone else had one. Like I said I have already had two rebuilt cars without a problem.
 
Re: Anyone have a rebuilt R (astock)

I bought a silver one from Underground (I have a few problems but nothing to tear my hair out over), it was totaled because the motor was hydrolocked.
On the black on your dealing with, I've seen quite a few detailed photos of when Jeff got it and during the repairs. The damage on that car was really very minimal and I was surprised the insurance company totaled it. In fact, from what I remember looking at the photos, my guess is that the damage was restricted to a few bolt on parts, heck, that car was just barely nicked a little...... I think you'll like it.

That is basically the extent of the damage to the one I might buy. All he had to replace was the hood, bumper, grille, radiator and radiator support. The airbags didn't even go off.

My damage was similar. In addition to the ones you listed I also had to replace air box, both fenders, and both lights. ended up getting HIDS!

Yeah pretty much! My fault since I knew not to drive with them in the snow.

I still felt/feel bad for you.

Hey thanks. I try not to think about it. That was probably one of the worst nights of my life. Not just because of the car but because of how stupid I felt! At times I feel like getting rid of the car but in all honesty there is nothing wrong with it. It looks the same as I did the day she came home with me, except for all the wonderful mods. I have contemplated trading it in for a new S4! hmm??
