The story of my car

Well, after being requested to make a post updating all about my car, here it is. The car is back temporarily after the March wreck. The car is not in the condition that i had hoped. The color of the paint on the damaged protion of the car is crap, so i didnt have to pay the guy for doing it. Im just going to take it to a better place that i should have taken it to the first time. The car is overheating major, like it doesnt go more than 10 minutes before it hit the top of the guage. All the while its overheating radiator fluid is spewing everywhere, but that is prolly bc there is no overflow tank on there right now. The car also has a major alignment problem, tried to get it aligned and came to find out that the frame needs to be pulled froward like an inch, so thats a bitch right there. that is the first problem that is going to be fixed. I talked to my dad tonight and he was like u got to get it fixed, it has to be drivable. well that might mean one thing, rebuild. so if thats the case, ill let the process be left up to ur imagination on what is going to be done, those of u who already know, well u know. so dont mind the shitty pictures that i have given here, for i really dont like showing off my nasty, and dirty car.
