    Se in the shop

    I went to the shop my dad works at yesterday and happened to see a Blue SE Mangum. Saw some damage to the passenger side door but missed this damage until I looked at the repair order :



    Ouch, thats a 14 hour ( body ) repair !

    Oi! too bad its not a light colored car or I might have been able to fenagle a set of black head lights :D

    Ouch!

    Did you find out what caused the damage?

    Those scratches look like they could have come from a garage door slamming down on it a bunch of times, but that wouldn't cause the huge dent or any damage to the passenger door. Maybe it was parked next to something that tipped over or collapsed?

    Looks to me like it was hit by a fork lift.
    Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

    Small fork lift with tines set close together for small pallets might have left that kind of damage. The reason I say that is it looks like what a friend had done to his PU truck by his small fork lift and 12 year son.

    Update :

    fixing the roof turned out to be a no go, too wavy.









    They are waiting on a few more parts for the inside then it's getting trimmed out.

    Now would be a excellent time to have the rear spoiler painted !!!
