You have a good start. What colors are you going to use on the other panels:

Too funny, I posted that image on my facebook page the other day after taking that shot!

Moved the AC/Heater controller to the lower slot and ordered a double din CarPlay receiver. Don't worry, I'm getting the fill piece as well.

Funny, I fixed up an almost identically damaged car myself about 2 years ago. Needed a bumper, fender, headlight, the rad/fan/condenser assembly, and a few small plastic pieces. Thankfully I didn't have to touch the suspension. I ended up painting the bumper and fender off the car. Luckily they matched perfectly and there was no need to blend the adjacent panels. Let me know if you have any questions. Best of luck!

Yes, very similar. I'm planning on sending just the fender and cover to the painter, however, white is very tricky to match. Time will tell if blending will be necessary.

Body parts were dropped of with the painter on Friday, hope to have back in 7-10 days. In the meanwhile, added a Pioneer receiver, rear view camera, and short shifter. Everything is working, just need to button everything back up.

Feeling a bit frustrated. Went down to work on the car, wanted to get the interior back in shape as the paint shop will be done on Wed; trying to move this car along. The new stereo and back-up camera are working well. Went to role the windows up and nothing happened. Thought maybe I had blown a fuse, but it was fine. Tried the window relearn since battery has been disconnected on-and-off while I worked on the car, windows still in lowest position. Pulled center console back off to look for disconnected wires, but the window relay looms looked normal. Pulled climate control unit, which I had moved to the lower position and did find one 4-pin connector just hanging. At first I thought that I had solved my problem, but could not find the other connector. After searching the wiring diagrams, looks like it is the plug for the phone (see below).

So, can anyone think of why the windows won't move? Hard to believe that both switches or motors went at the same time.

Ha with this car.

I entered a car show with a pristine Cayman and a beautiful Ferrari and a car just like this out of the tree can you guess who won.
