Well hello and hi all this is my first post on this board... i hope i did this in the right spot, it seems i did, but if not please excuse my stupidity i am trying.
Any ways, so a few days ago am online looking as the SGI.com sight, they have a salvage page and u can see some of the cars that are up for big and junk. so am looking at the yorkton section. low and behold!, i found a 2001 ford focus se, fully loaded top to bottom, it had a few ruff scratchs here and there, the passenger side mirror was a little cracked but the main damage was the crunch on the back left panel, it was a small crunch but eh, not bad it didn't go into the wheel well(thank god) and the back light is still in good condition.
So i went and I showed me dad and mom this car and it was going for about 2300$ so they said sounds good, so on tues day we are going down to sgi to pick it up! lucky me eh! i plan to fix the back panel and junk but i was wondering if there is any where in canada i can order "HELLA headlights" since i plan to repaint my car because of all the scratchs and junk . i plan to kinda deck this car out.. nothing overly special just new head and tail lights, maybe take the dinky spoiler off and fix something nice on. it has decent enough wheels tho i might paint some detail on em. but that about it. the rest will be body work from all the dents and scratchs. i don't think this car had a very good pre owner. it has 150,000 km on it but neh. am willing to do the work. so . yea.
i plan to post pics when i get it and progress pics as well i hope all goes well and i hope i can get some good tips on this board (also excuse my bad grammar, i am 17 and i seem to have the skill of a 10 year old, no more like a 5 year old, so try to bare with me)
