Hey fellow R3vers,
No lengthy story here, I have spent the last 4 years building this car and I was involved in a front end collision that did some pretty serious damage.
I have removed the engine and cut the front rad support as it was sandwiched against the engine. I do not have an eye for body work so I am not sure what the costs are here but I would deeply regret parting the car.
Reasons for Keeping:
+Completely Rust free, new undercoating on Underchassis
+Calypsorot in beautiful shape that I detailed before the accident.
+I know the chassis inside and out (wiring, etc)
+Complete Twinscroll Turbo kit ready to go in :(
Reasons for Parting:
-Cost of repair and Paint exceeds 6.5k
-Integrity of chassis is compromised
Damage Assesment:
-It seems like the passenger fender frame area was pushed back nearly 2 inches and buckled where the windshield meets the fender up to the crease A pillar.
+The frame Rails seem straight
+ I have a complete late model front end to put on the car
-Fenders, Hood, Rad Support, Valence
-Engine Firewall pushed in 2.5-3 inches.
-Do I have to remove dash and knock back out?
-Rocker arm broke in M20, will need rebuild
or 24v Swap :roll:
I don't have my Image hosting account anymore so here my Dropbox. I can upload images later this week when I resize the images.
Let me know what you all think, If any of you have seen worse or this is too much.
Thanks! -Ali
