Didn't put the parking brake up far enough, and drifted into a (fortunately already wrecked) car for $1200 of body damage. Putting aside the fact that I shouldn't be allowed to touch so noble a vehicle as the rx-7 with such ignoble skill, is there anything I can do to reduce the ugly while I try to save up that much money? I was thinking of maybe putting caulk in the nose dent/tear and hood scratches, and putting paint or M-Nu over it. Would that work? Would anything work?



And I guess I should go over in the parts forum and see if anyone has a used nose for me, for less than the $900 factory and $800 aftermarket the part costs

Excuse me while I go polish off that bottle of strychnine.

I'll sell you my used front bumper for cheap if you can wait about a month for my 99spec to come in. Mine is VR.

no i have a feeling he drifted using the parking brake, cause he mentions bad skill as a cause of damage.



oh and vosko, you spin donuts.
