Hi guys.. I feel kind of depressed couse my brother had a crash on our pretty and beloved Aurora.. We were going around the city with some friends and then one stupid guy came out of nothing across the street.. he skip an stop sign and almost hit us.. my brother turn the steering wheel to avoid the crash but we hit the median strip at high speed causing a damage on the driver side of the car. I felt like the floor under my feet was opening and I was going directly down to hell, Noooo!!!. I was thinking this can't be happening hahaha I tried to get out of this nightmare but then I realized unfortunatly this was real haha.. so we stop asside of the road to look at the damage.. Oh no please help me God haha.. the car has a serious damage on the driver side of the car.. The rim had a fracture and also a lot of parts in that side.. We took it to a body shop from a friend of us to get it repaired.. He told us what were the pieces we need to get.. so we went to a junk yard in Laredo TX to get them and also buy some new pieces we need. New Mirrors A lot of pieces So after this we decided to have it completly painted and detailed, so it's going to look like a brand new Aurora haha. I hope this, of course about some time, erase this trauma that I have to face hahaha and be again a normal and a happy person like I used to be before this happen hahaha. So here are some pictures about the progress on the car. Repaired Removing paint I will keep you up to date later with more photos until the car is completly finished. See u guys..!!

Wow, Peter! I must have missed this thread. That's really unfortunate but it happens to the best of us. I'm glad it worked out to get her fixed. Somebody needs to keep reppin' ACNA in Mexico! ;D
Since you're completely redoing the paint you should put some dark gray metallic flake in there. You would have a truly unique color and the metallic flake really pops in the sunlight!

Makes me cringe to see an Aurora like that. Then I know in the long run she will be all pretty again. I can't wait to see the final product.
