So, on the boat, heading to Japan... This is so cool. I decided to bring the Civic with me, because LS2... xD but, yeah, we're on the way there, and gonna see how the Levin performs
{4 days later} Wow, so we made it with minor sea sickness... Anyways, got the cars unloaded, and the Carlton is untouched, Duramax is okay, Civic is okay too, but the AE86 didn't escape unharmed. We hit a storm halfway through the Pacific, and apparently one of the straps holding the car snapped. Well, she skidded over, and slammed into a joist running up the side of the boat. Damaged the front bumper and part of the front carriage. Luckily the engine is okay, and the car didn't hit anything else... She left some skid marks on the floor of the bay though, so she left her mark... Anyways, got to the garage, and pulled the bumper off to inspect the damage. The carriage needs some welding, but the bumper seems unsaveable. It's toast. Well, better airflow to the intercooler, radiator, and oil cooler I guess...  {over the course of 2 days} So, I slowly repaired the carriage, and here's the progress. Here's what I had to work with after I removed the engine  And I hammered and reinforced the frame with some steel plate I found in your shop Facepalm... I'll pay you back for it xD  And I repainted the section (idk whats up with the strut brace)  And reinstalled the engine. It looks almost new! minus the front bumper... I might just cut the damaged bit off and put the okay part back on xD  I also got an offer for 30k on the Civic, and am seriously considering it because I spotted something that piqued my interest while driving by it earlier to get my USD converted to Yen...  Just a rolling chassis, but I stopped and talked to him (Thanks Droid Turbo for translating!) and he wants 800 usd for it, or 95,131 yen. Yes please!
