Ok, I was in the wreck on 11/13/07, today is 3/21/07. Four months and one week later, one bring back, multiple visits by the insurauce appraiser, bad work trying to be passed off by the body shop, and in the end almost $9,000 in repair work for an at-best $10,000 vehicle.
Regardless, I think the work done, now after the fact, is probably a 6 out of 10. From looking on the outside you can not really tell that it had been wrecked. You can tell if you look had enough on the inside of the hood. It seems to run and drive straight now, that's good.
There appears to be one more problem not talked about before. I'm not sure if it's from the wreck or not, but it probably is. The driver's side window doesn't roll all the way up when driving past 35 mph. It gets allmost all the way up, but then it gets caught on the groove and doesn't quite go into it. When I stop and roll it down again and back up, it pops into the groove no sweat.
Does it seem like this was from the wreck, like the compression of the wreck caused the door to buckle slightly so the glass doesn't want to go all the way up ... maybe the glass shifted around inside the door?
I'll get some photos posted up here later.
