So this year we decided to buy a car, fix it, and then hopefully make some money on it. My wife was sad to learn that we wouldn't be keeping this one, but hopefully we can turn enough of a profit off of it to buy her something she likes later. The first official project of this year is a 2009 Ford Edge. Here's the before pictures:
The brunt of the damage is in the front - mostly on the passenger side, but as you can see the whole front end is in need of some work.
The damage in the back is, well, barely worth mentioning. Two scratches.

This car will be beautiful once it's finished, but as you can see it's going to take a bit of work. We've already tracked down a few of the parts we need, so we'll start working on it right away and post pictures as we go. Can't wait to see the finished product!
