Hey, he's not that far off being legal by Canadian laws

Besides, beer is the appropriate reward for mechanical aptitude.

Ouch. Assuming you didn't mean literally with "******" and "357 magnum", I really sympathize with your hurt. A couple of months after I got my previous new car, and it was brand new and only just got its license plates, someone at work scraped my rear fender in my parking lot at work. And they didn't leave a note!

Last year, at a parking lot at the public library, as I was backing out of my spot, a guy on the other side backed into me. Naturally, he was driving a really old Chevy Suburban which didn't have any damage while my 3/4 rear panel is dented much like your front one. He and his insurance had the nerve to try and say it was my fault. Fortunately, my insurance took care of everything and said I was 100% not at fault.

Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

Just found this thread and I have no idea how I missed it. I spent the last half hour reading it and damn kid I wish I had half your talent and resources. This thread reminds me of a geo metro I ripped completely apart and hung from a tree for a "sculpture", ah the good old days when I was young..... I just lack that kind of confidence to do that major of work to my own daily driver. I'm thinking of buying a new car so I can use my 01 as a project car and do what I've always wanted to it..... Anyways I digress, Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see more.

Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

Your bumper on the driver side looks like it's just not clipped in all the way. It should snap in nicely. Sometimes it takes a little more force to put in in. Instead of putting bondo on your fender, why not just get a new fender from a junkyard and slap that on?

Props on the work done. Is your old man a mechanic? Or did you teach yourself everything?

Re: Brobo's Em2 Build!

really? after all that work you won't turbo the em2? the talon is turbo'ed to 200hp. that's not hard for an em2 to reach, with a turbo setup. how much are you buying the talon for?
