I've always felt that having one of my cars wrecked would be a major personal catastrophe. Not just a "medical emergency" or an "insurance hassle" the way it is for commuters who run replaceable cars that they don't care much about—nope, for us gearheads, losing a car to a wreck is always devastating on multiple levels. That's why I feel for CarDomain member Justin, whose Civic got into it with another car last month. The extent to which he's brought his ride back from a pretty catastrophic accident is inspiring, and it's all documented on his ride page. Justin had already put a lot of custom work into his ride before the wreck, and now there's just so much that needs attending to to: everything from cutting and welding to repainting to rewiring to dent repair (lots of it) to parts replacement. Great progress, man! We're definitely looking forward to seeing your ride returned to its former glory.

Ouch. Looks like the front has to be stripped down completely and the bent structural steel torched off and replaced from a donor car. Looks like a cutting & welding job ahead. Just hope it dosen't have to go all the way back to or beyond the strut towers or it might just be easier to get another civic.
