Looks great, Andy! You're going to be moving on to your next project by the weekend, or so it appears!

Buttoned up by lunch time. Quick bath.

Later today I located two blue fenders and a driver’s side green fender. I will dig them out of the shed and inspect them for quality and decide what goes on the car. Hopefully the green fender is presentable. Then I can paint the hood and the bumper cover and be back where we started. 😀

Looks like you need to buff out that driver side headlight, Andy. LOL

And here I thought you were "just" a guy who kept cars running all these years. Had *no* idea you had the knowledge and wherewithall to do collision repair like this

Well done, sir
Well done

Another green fender on the driver’s side presents well. On to the Lincoln saga.

I suspect the Lincoln is going to take up a lot more of your time than the Saturn did.

Disassembling two, saving what is good. Will end up a very nice 06 2wd that will eventually be for our youngest daughter. The second one will be another silver 4wd to replace our silver 06 4wd the got destroyed in the accident. The 06 4wd Expedition will get a torque converter and some touch up and become money. It may get the engine out of our 06, it has noisy chains on startup.

We hauled the ls2 donor to a scrapper yesterday and got paid $150. That is what I paid for it many years ago. My grand daughter will move into my wagon and her car with the blue hood and bumper will go to a foster grand daughter that needs a car. I don’t need a commuter now that I don’t have a commute!
One less car to insure.
