Yesterday I finished adjusting my left fender and fender liner. Today I'll do some interior clean-up, as I take it for a rebuilt title inspection tomorrow. I replaced the left fender and headlamp myself after I sadly hit a deer a few months ago, and the body shop inexplicably doubled the estimate claiming the entire front end needed repainted, resulting in insurance totaling it. (The only missing pains was on the fender I replaced and found in a matching color).
I wasn't ready to throw out an otherwise fine car (a well-maintained 2012 Mazda with 120K miles) over a fender and headlight, even though I've never done body work like this before. I had to pause the repairs for several weeks when my dad became ill. It's been a learning experience, as I've not had any help. No other shops were interested once it was declared totaled.
The hood has a slight dent, so there's a bit of a gap. Transporting/shipping a hood isn't easy, but being able to again drive the car on public roads should open up more options.
