    Haha, He has kept it beyond the "few days" he suggested it would take so I am starting to wonder...I better "be amazed" in a good way, especially since I had some fall sightseeing drives planned for this week and next

    I was amazed when I picked up the van today and they handed me a bill for $1500. The co-owner who quoted me 800 and did the work wasn't there, but after a brief chat with the other owner I drove my van home for $800. It wasn't going to end any other way.


    He seems to have done a pretty good job. Its not perfect but the reinforcement fits, my hood closes and locks, he got the new used headlight in and it all looks squared up. You can hardly tell the tie bar was mangled. My fenders sit snug at the windshield again. The LED headlights spray all over the place, but they did that before, so I can't tell if its better or worse or exactly the same. I doubt that I could have done as good a job, so overall I'm happy with the work. Not sure what to think about the "misunderstanding," so I'm not sure if I should risk going back for my hood support, which is missing.

    I need heat so first order of business is putting in the new PS reservoir so I can replace the blower housing, and seeing if I can mount the radiator properly and remove the ratchet straps currently holding it in.
