The "after" is visible.

But it looks like the front bumper gap is a bit off.

alot better then before

you could simply fix the gap, just raise the support beam the bumper sits on.

Wow - looks like you put a lot of work into it. I would be pretty happy too if I could repair something as bad as that - so that little gap gets a free pass... at least for now.

glad you got everything fixed up. that gap is nothing to worry about as you stated, it's just the support beam below the headlight that's hanging too low.

I think you did a good job. My TL was very close to total when i bought it for CHEAP, so i know the work you've put in. That being said, after doing all that work that gap would eat me alive..Just my ...I'm not trying to come off as an asshole..TL as a beater=win..

I'm from Norfolk.

did you buy it from the junk yard? i've been looking into beater projects too - mostly on craigslist lately, but i'd be interested in hearing where you found this car.
