She rises like a Phoenix from the grave again!!
I'm going to try to keep this short, but it is a long story none the less. I know you all have seen the pictures of my wife's little Mazda 2 as we have gone through its transformation from a dealership's scrap metal back to working, she frequents this sub and posts the pictures of her baby. Well she hit a deer on the 1st, insurance totaled her out and we opted to keep her with a limited payout, the damage was secluded to the front of the hood and passenger side fender with it completely taking out the radiator, condenser and radiator support along with the body panels and headlights. After 4 days we have finished assembling her with new parts and a full burping of the cooling system. She lives again! We will drive this car until the wheels fall off, and then I'll find a way to get them back on to keep driving her. By far one of the few cars I can say I'm happy to work on as a mechanic and will continue to keep her alive as long as mechanically possible!
