hi calvin,

saw the car on the w/end (saturday) and all of the body work (fibreglass) is complete... damn good job! it's amazing, it is exactly back to the original shape! i can see why it took the guy 3 weeks to do now, the guy is an absolute perfectionist, sure he used some laser measurement thing, but he still took the time and REALLY insisted on his work being perfect...

the car had the front boot sprayed and the body down with undercoat on tuesday (yesterday) and they commenced putting the car back to gether with the new bumper today... they expect to have the car back together and final paint completed by this w/end for me to check out! all that should be left is for the car to go to rick damelian (dealer) to have the computers reset/checked (and that damn abs!) and that should be it! in theory the car should be ready for pick up on tuesday next week, but if there are things that need to be replaced (like abs sensors) then it may take a day or two extra.... overall, hoping for a friday/saturday pick up next week/end, fingers crossed!!

ps. i took a few snaps of the car with the body work complete, but no paint, will get them up asap with some photos from this w/end with the car (hopefully) completely put back together and painted.....

I experienced one brake caliper locking up a few months ago. Mine was the front right. I do have different brakes than you so there might not be a connection. The floating pin that allowed the calipers to slide had seized and had to lube it up. Ryan also had a problem but his was the left rear and might have been the pot. Looks like your car is going to be on the road as I am putting mine away for the winter.
