Must see before and after the wind storm pics.....

Remove this ad
It all started late june when we had a pretty crazy wind storm in Issaquah WA. I had a car tent that I had the V in and I guess didn't hold up to the wind one night. It was anchored down like crazy from all sides and didn't hold up. I dont have a garage on mu house which is still in the process of being built due to this accident. Up here we rarely ever have strong winds but what can you do... Right. I guess the lesson learned here is always expect the worst. Thank god the damage was only paint and no replacing of body panels or even a tree falling down, I would be very upset. So to make a long story short I have pitures of my car of when the accident happend and when I decided that this was perfect oportunity to get an incredable paint job done. I had to pay quite a bit more for it but the insurance payed over half of the paint job. The damge was 10k dollars. It is in complete show car quaility. I even added a little extras....

OK so where are the pics?

We had sustained winds of 88 knots (101 mph) here on Friday. It was insane, especially standing in a 220' tall, VERY small footprint air traffic control tower.

Wow...great looking car. It took me a while to know if I liked the air brushed V on the side, but I do. Looks awesome!

Re: Must see before and after the wind storm pics.....

Thanks CTSV 510 and ya I had the license plate in the front but I got hassled from the cops and I already have other things the cops dont like like the windows and tail lights and so on... You guys no how it is. But I am very pleased with how it turned out. Lots of people have stopped me everywhere i go. Even followed me home to talk to me... crazy stuff.

Not to my taste personally, but if you're happy with the car that's what really matters.
