dents are easy, I wouldnt make it a parts car, PICS....
A guy I bought a 55 chevy off of a while back had a 68 mustang (red with white interior, really sharp car), the guy he bought it from got caught cheating on his girl friend who he had only been dating for 8 months, she came to his house with her son, and used his big money golf clubs to destroy that car and his HD, insurance paid for all the damage, and that guy bought both the bike and car cheap, I didnt get to see the bike, it was out getting fixed, but they did one heck of a job on the car, no glass or lights left in tact, roof, hood, fenders, bumpers, center caps, deck lid, quarters, doors, they had to be gassed by the time they were done, he said he counted over 125 pops!!! That is commitment. The topper was they poured used engine oil he had in his garage all over the interior. They spent some time on it, he said they even sugared the tank like he wsa going to drive it anywhere, lol...
Nothing on this earth as determined as a women scorned, lesson DONT EVER give a girl a key to you home... AND don't ever let them know you love something else, like a car, or motorcycle, because its too easy of a target. I think if my wife and I were to split, she would rather see me have to buy half of my cars off of her or sell them off and split it with her, she is too smart to do any damage, lol...
Your buddy should press charges and get her income attached to the debt it will take to get the car repaired...
