Saw my car today...Looken good
Amazing what a body shop can do...The front end is painted and almost back together...They have some aligning of the hood with the headlights and putting on projectzwo grill. Paint looks good and matches well. Still have about another 2 weeks though due to test driving and having dealership look at alignment and other issues that may arise...

Quick question will...
Who did your turbo install? How long did it take and di they remove the entire engine? Oh and on my car, I do think I have a record or something for bad luck, car was towed stock prolly 5-8 times and more like 20-25 times total! If the car doesnt have some miracle and start acting right im no doubt gonna sell it 
Hopefully It will get its act together quick!

No, they had the head off, so the install for the turbo and manifold was a bargain. The whole effort was less than 3 days once they got going, including the pistons/pins engine rebuild, dismantle plumbing from turbo to throttle body, blow out SMIC, new timing belt, water pump, and crank pulley, and by the way has been flawless since - not even a cel.
