    My little POS

    The hole in the bumper was created by the first owner, my mother. The dent in the rear fender was created from an old man in an Isuzu Rodeo. It was parked in front of my house and he backed into it, the dent is from the rear spare tire that hangs off the back. I got a pretty nice check and I can't even remember where that money ended up going. lol I just noticed that the side view picture makes it look like I'm one of the B-pillar hiders with the seat reclined back, it's the passenger seat. I sit more upright.

      looks like a fun project car. if you take the plastic trim out of the trunk, you might be able to push some of the dent out. i was able to do that with my car. it's worth a try. can't make it look any worse.

      I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

            Yeah I got 1200 or 1500 from the old guys insurance co. Took it to their office they took some pics and I got a check in the mail within the week.

            As far as fixing the dent, I don't have any plans. I might try to push it out like some of you suggested.

            They only thing I dislike about the wheels are the stupid chrome metal valve stems they installed. I have no idea why they removed the old ones as they were perfectly fine. I'll have to scuff them up or paint them.......I hate chrome.

                  lol, I knew I would take **** for the dent.

                  I'll see how much I can pound out with a rubber mallet from the inside. Heck, maybe sand and paint the rusty wiper arms and polish the headlights while I'm at it.

                      lol thanks Jitb, I can't remember if I had it when I bought those seats off you. The seats are great BTW. How's the Contour? You should post up some pics of it.

                        With the dent, just remove the trunk plastic, and literally push the dent with your hands. Using a mallet can create more dents...I pushed out a rear quarter dent on a 3rd gen and a Mazda 6 at work with my bare hands.
                        Then if there's still more dents, you can use a mallet or just get it fixed.

                        BTW those '94-'95 MX-3 wheels are awsome. My brother had a set prior to me buying a Protege, and after I did buy my car I was looking for a set.

                        Car looks clean except the bumper hole and easy to fix dent.

                        Now fix that dent!

                          Dam you guys...........you almost have me convinced to go out and fix it now. It's 3:18 AM here.

                          Yeah these rims were a PITA. Bought them off Ebay in nasty condition fixed the curb rash and repainted them only find there was some weird ridge on the inside of the hub that wasn't letting the wheel to sit flush on the hub. I needed the car running ASAP so I had to go out and buy some steel wheels and slap them on. I was going to resell them, but I never did and I finally said "**** it" and took a dremel to the metal ridge and got them mounted. Honestly I could have fixed them that day, but everybody I talked to said it was another issue and to not grind on the wheels. I was finally able to get an ebay seller to look at some pictures of my wheels and compare them to what the inside hub looked on the wheels he was selling.

                          Now they fit and it was quite an experience. They do look nice though and I've already received some compliments on them so I guess it was worth it.

                          Haven't bothered with the bumper as I want to eventually get JDM bumper; front and rear. The electrical tape my mom put on the bumper lasted up until a couple years ago.

                            lol that dent is no where as bad as mine

                            but yours is a quick fix a push and it should pop out mabe a little but of a love tap from a body hammer and block and a minimal bit of filler. the main thing is to get the body lines right the way they was.

                            other than that the car is clean. mine needs some work tho i also need a better cam to take better pic's of her. the pic's i do have are from a crappy cheap cam and you cant tell how clean it is beside the fender and door

                              Well did you fix the friggen dent or what!?

                              I like the car man, it's nice and clean, and the rims and pedals look good.

                              I pass the same car everyday on the way to work, and I like it everyday. I like how the bumpers are black.
