This is done by wrapping the url in tags. Photobucket already has a wrapped URL that you can just copy as well.

Thanks Aaron. I think i finally got it. Enjoy the pictures, and feel free to comment or ask questions. $400 to fix it and about month and a half of work. But i went slow.

damn...those wrecked pix remind me of steves car :cry: ...looks like it was fixed nicely :wink:

[Nick1234]

Yea it is structurly sound. The radiator cross support was welded in by a mechanic friend of ours, in my garage, and everything else i did. I rear ended a Toyota previa on the freeway doing about 25-30. 4 car accident. I have driven the same way to work for 2 years, and on one thursday it happend. It only takes a second. I decided to go with the 90 euro grille. I have the emblem in my car. It turned out good.

[Nick1234]

now for the body work.......

[White93z34]

so how did you go about repairing that radiator support? drill the welds out and weld in a new one?

good choice with the 1990 lumina euro grille.

[supreme_style21]

Great job! But those spark plug wires :willynilly:

nice job fixing it! just something...are you gonna fix the rust on the hood? and make the bumper stripe red like the rest of the car? and gotta clear dem corners again :wink:

sweet dual setup!

[supreme dreamz]

good job on the repair...must have been a good feelin gettin her back on the road again :)

[Nick1234]

Thank you all. It feels so good for people to compliment on this project. It was a lot of hard work were some poeple might just give up and i learned so much. First off it was awesome getting it on the road. The car sat on jack stands for almost 2 months, and she fired up on the first crank. I do plan on fixing the body, and hood, and painting it come spring. ANd i do have the red stripe from the other bumper. What we did on the radiator support was take a sawz-all, and cut just in front of the tabs. Then welded in the new piece. And let me tell you, if there is ever a time to replace the coils, that is the time. It is extremely solid. I really like the 90 euro grolle too. I plan on having iherback to the original state, but really im glad i saved this w-body. Its a great car, and it kept me safe. Im gonna get here back to this:http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/chewygum814/P8060171.jpg

and hell yea for my exhaust.

Thanks all
Nick

Looks good!

[cutlsp]

you have more ballz then me i'll give you that. :? i would have totaled the car with that much damage but thats just me. :? anyways it looks good but my guess is your brakes need work done to them :lol:

[cutlass1991]

damn dude that is awesome. I was complaing because someone side swiped my car right before I wanted to get it painted this summer. I still don't know whether to get the doors reskinned or just bondo-it. But that is nothing compared to what you fixed. truly an excellent do-it-yourself job. :D
