After 3 long years of driving my DB2 all beat I finally got around to straightening out the front end…

Nice. Wish I had a DB2
Looks good, I can’t believe you drove around like that lol
HAHA! nooo i didn’t drive it around like that. I smashed the hood down and pulled the old core support foreward a little with a truck and chain then put some junky headlights on. so it looked ok but now its fixed.
looks good, we need more pics of the progress to get it to that point…
Sure!
This is how it looked after smashing the hood down and throwing some junkyard headlights on.
Heres how it looked after finding a new hood (Rio Red)
And the above pic is how it looks now after replacing the headlights, aligning the bumper with longer bolts and washers and using mending brackets to line up the headlights. I spent about $100 bucks on all the stuff to get it looking the way it does now. The core support is still bent though, but no one so far has even noticed even while looking in the bay.
nice. so you didn’t even have to go in for paint? good job lining everything up. can’t even tell
No, no paint. The hood is a different color and needs to be color matched but its not that far off. just a littler orange/lighter than the milano red. The front bumper is scuuffed up too but a little rubbing compound and wax made it look alright. I’ll get to paint when i have cash to burn but for now I need to work on engine and suspension.
THanks for all the comments btw!
hood musta been off a 90-91. different shade of milano
True it was off a 90-91 but its not Milano Red, but Rio Red.
ahhhh yes. the r63, i believe. nonetheless, good job on getting it all lined up. cheers
haha thanks man. I’m still jealous of you cats up north. Canada has manual seatbelts AND Black GS-R’s!
