Talking Hello from Florida!!!!

Hello guys and gals, like the title states I'm new here from the sunshine state. I just got a 2010 Fit sport for free from a friend of mine that his son bumped on a trailer that was parked around his house. The kid not being mechanically inclined and his father away he called me up and told me to go pick the car up. Once I got her home I started assessing the damage. Radiator was shot along with the A/C condenser and one condenser line. The aluminum engine mount bracket from the passenger side had broken and I was hoping no further damage was done. Compacts where intact because he bumped the radiator and only damaged the support of said radiator and condenser. I pulled it out and straightened everything up. New radiator is in place without any fitment and or aligning issues so everything worked out good. Condenser is on it's way and will have to get a new bumper. Drove her around to see if anything was amiss but she rides true. So I got a 146k mile car for $300 maybe. So that is my story guys, hope to be around here for a long time since my plans are to pass this one along to my kid, he's 6 now but wants it really bad for when he gets old enough to drive. So here we are now.Talking
