here's the deal. i lost traction on wet pavement this evening and slid my car sideways down a hill. everything would be ok if not for a stump sticking about 1 ft. out of the ground. it caught my car just below the middle of the passenger's side door and bent the frame in several inches. it fucked the door up good too. the car is definitely warped since the hood has a half inch gap from the fender. the rear hatch also has the same gap once i pop the latch. the front fender will need replacing.

so... will my car probably be totalled? what would it cost to buy the salvage title? how much could i get parting ou the car? can i ever get it straight again?

Not another FD gone.

i know. i'm going to feel real bad if i killed one of the few left. at least i didn't hit the car that i over corrected to avoid. head on collision would have sucked. there's only a few sevens, but there's only one of me.

Hey man, don't loose hope there are some body shops that are computer equipt and will straighten your frame up to .001 which is almost perfect, you will never notes anything.

Anyway, I feel bad for you, that realy socks, I feel your pain man...

a white one

I love white FDs... less than 1000 around, espeically after tilutil fucked this one up

poor FD

tiluin

don't get your panties in a bunch. getting the damage estimate tomorrow. if they try and total her, i think i am going to take max payoff and try and get her fixed anyway. i really don't want to have to pull her off the road.

and yes, white is the best color ever.

If you decide to part it out i'd be interested in an interior piece (if its a black interior). Sorry to hear about your accident man.

i'm interested in the interior panels

well, i hope you can fix it. BUT, if not - i really need to turn signal unit that goes under the driver's side kick panel. i think mine's fried.

good luck - keep us posted.

jackobean

Sorry to hear about your accident and I'm glad to hear you're ok. If you decide not to put it back together, I'd be interested in the defroster vent inserts on the upper dash. Sorry, again, from a fellow chaste white owner...good luck!

Dang vultures picking at the remains, LOL! I'm gonna Saran-Wrap my FD, remove the tires/drain fluids/pickle the engine and put mine in cryostasis.

He sold it, last year. Hopefully turbojeff or someone doing the same as him picked it up.

And who took out of the grave this last years post?

zmarko

That would be RoninX

widebody2

such an old post but any way...that car was fixable. He probably could have ended up making money off the insurance claim.

seanfd3s

damn man sorry i had the same thing happen to me but it looks like my stump was smaller but i was quoted between 3 to 6k to fix

rxrotary2_7

WTF? why was this year old thread dug up? at least we know RoninX was using the search function.

LOL, sorry...R.I.P. FD
