Welcome! Wow, 7.5 acres for a first house? Must have been a hell of a deal...What'* the land like; old farm, wooded, hills?
BTW, post up pics, if it'* body damage, we can give you a pretty close estimate.
We've got a couple body guys, a couple guys who've had a lot of body work done , and I personally used to work for an auto auction doing repair time estimates.

yeah, we did get a great deal on the house, it was a forclosure (michigan, go figure) for $80,000! The house is a modualar home, but it is only ten years old and in great shape. the land is half light woods and half grass that I cut. I put up a chainlink fence for our dogs and the house is now valued at $108,000! I love it.....

Also, I found out last night that I am going to be a dad!!!! the greatest news ever!!


about the pics of the car though, I have about 7 on my digital camera and on my computer, however, I am not sure how to load them onto this website... I do however have a cardomain page for our Zr2 truck that I can put the pics on. let me know and thank you all.

Congrats on the kid!

Take out the spaces and this is what you get:

there is one of the pics, I have 6 more. I don't want to put them all on here untill I figure out how to size them better. thanks for the help!! I have been wondering how to do that for a while.

Ouch. That'* going to cost a couple grand, even without paint.

yeah, thats what I figured also, however, my neighbors uncle owns a body shop and is now retired. the shop is on his property and he no longer does insurance jobs, just cash jobs. my neighbor says that her uncle can probably fix it for fairly cheap. I am going to take the car over to his house on monday and see what he says, if all goes well, I will be looking for a new front clip. when the car was hit, it knocked the hood off and swung it around and hit the back passenger door knocking out the glass and denting the window track and door. the engine cradle seems fine, the car still runs and moves fine except a broken transmission line. but, I am very excited to get back into a bonneville again, I love this car

Michigan rocks all :P
