glad all are o.k., could have been much worse, cars can be fixed,,,,,,u may want to find a auto junk yard to get your parts, much cheeper,,,,,i guess we all should check our brake lines for sure,,,,,,,me too......

 

If you bent all that stuff up, man you hit the other car pretty hard.. I had about the same thing happen to my red one and I have done a CRAP LOAD of body work. It took me a few days to fix it, but you gonna have a lot of work to do especially the radiator support , its welded in...

 

there is an 83 here at a junk yard. gutted but the shell is straight,

a stainless steel brakeline broke? holy ****,

I hope you dont have bomez brake lines, cuz thats what I got.

 

Dude, sorry about your loss...at least it wasnt really bad.
Seams as if the damage isnt even that serious, if you were looking to get some sort of front facia or something now would be the time.

 

Chances are your frame is off by an inch or so in front if the impact crumpled the passenger fender but not the driver's.

I bumped mine into a concrete barrier @ about 65 MPH the day I bought her (black ice in the mountains) - it took $3,800 in frame straightening and bodywork to get her right again. Thank heavens for insurance!

 

well i went to a body shop today about the front part and the guy in the body shop told me theres no frame damage, theres a part that i think is called the radiator support that need to replace and it will cost me about(and that was the words of the guy) $400.-$450 max, but the bumper and the fender i think i can save but i have to buy a oil cooler, radiator, header panel, hood and few others things.
82streetracer: no is was a old brake line, i believe is factory
rotormotordriver: thank for the websites ill gonna check them today
mike-p-28: yes, i gonna post the hood as soon a canv so you can see how crooked is
DONNA: i would like new parts better that used. theres a few yunk yards over were i live but the used part i want the dont have it.

i just hope to have my car soon

 

Doh, at least you don't need a new bumper

I was driving early in the morning in bright sunlight about a month ago and due to the glare off the car in front (and lack of sunglasses) I missed their brake lights and ran into the back of them at about 10-15 mph

Problem was they had a tow bar bracket fitted (luckily no tow ball ) and its totally fubar'ed the front bumper and nose panel

After paying for their bumper to be repaired (£300 OUCH!) I took my car in to a local bodyshop to get an estimate of how much it would cost ... a genuine front bumper is £680 ! fortunately I can pick up the parts I need second hand, but its still going to cost me a fortune in paint and labour ... oh well " **** happens "
