Re: To all gearheads

I've only done bodywork (on a family friend's car after they hit something at low speed, just needed to replace the bumper and fender, no biggie), but I'll be getting my own car soon and I will probably work on that.

For any curious, it's a 2004 Ford Escape, white/grey
(this is not it but it's the same car)

Mine's got the V6 instead of the I4, but it's the entry model V6 so no foglights, leather, etc. It's just all truck.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention that I've debadged it and taken off the pinstripes, too. I wasn't fond of them, so they came off. Front badge is still on, though. I might replace the grille with an aftermarket metal one if I can find one that doesn't annoy me (which is most of them =p)

EDIT Again:
I'm also more fond of the "Pacific muscle" and European cars, stuff like Audis, Nissans, etc. I was going to get a Porsche 914 until my sister got in a car accident (914 has no airbags or crumple zones). I'm thinking that when I have enough money I'll look into trading the Escape + some dosh in for a '03 Audi A4.
