That sucks Tom, it really does. I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully everything will be alright.

Quarter panel damage = totaled.

That may be. But it doesn't always mean it's dead. :D

It'll rise once again....!!!!!!!!

I saw it again in the light today at the auto-x. It's drivable for sure... I dont think any suspension was damaged, however, the extent of the body damage in the rear will definitely bring a salvage title.

Exactly. Mine did.

ya... It might take me a while, but goddamnit I love this car to much to let it die because of this stupid accident.


I will be buying a new trunk lid, quarter panel, and other variouse things that need to be fixed from david lumbra.


Atleast now I have true motivation to respray the whole car.... and well atleast I can get rid of those nasty side markers now.... :roll:

pics - i fucked up the resizing on them, i know.

[uofom3]

these pics were taken on the night of the accident... it should be fixable, and all damage (thankfully) seems to be cosmetic. It'll ride again.

[Mot]

yup, that would be my new tree30.

[DarkWing6]

A little more than 2 inches I'd say. Ya, don't drive it. That sucks man. Get it fixed ASAP.

[SykoBMW]

...and you don't think it'll be totalled?

[Mot]

if i went through a insurance company technicly it would be totalled yes. Am i going to bother with those fuckers? No. Is it gonna get fixed either way? Yes.

[boom-monkey]

OR you could just find another nice example and save yourself the hassle.
I dunno, just seems like a lost cause, that is A LOT of damage.

[Jordan]

That is indeed alot of damage. Cost to repair that out of pocket will exceed realistic value of the vehicle.

Jokes aside, it is indeed totaled. Insurance claim or not.

Cut your losses, part it out, save what you want, and get another one.

[golde30]

yah, that the same spot where i drove my car into a light pole, exept i hit the rear wheel as well. my body damage wasnt that bad though, u do realize the work involved in cutting off the unibody and rewelding it back on rite? heres my car:



BTW, my car was totalled out. i parted out that biatch.

[UNHCLL]

DRIVING ON BALD TIRES IS THE FUCKIN BOMB DIGGITY YOH.


GOOD JOB, ANOTHER R3V'd CAR!


W0000000000 YA!

[Mot]
