if it gets totalled buy it back. get a clean shell and swap parts over.
OR get the panels form one of the guys that offered them to you and clean it, pick your favorite color and repaint the sumbitch!
trust, after this is over you will love this car SOOOO much more. and when you are rolling in class to get a sandwhich IN it after all the work you put in...damn you feel like the man!
GOOD LUCK BRAH!
Originally posted by freeride53 View Postbe glad you aren't hurt though, and if unsure, get checked out. some car accidents, even if they may appear to not be so dramatic, can have shitty effects. I was rear ended at a dead stop by a guy speeding two months ago. Got a concussion, severe whiplash, and my spine got a tiny bit hurt. sob story short, headaches every day, drowsiness, dizziness, and not being able to workout fucking blows. It really can be a damper on one's summer. /rant.
oh and props on wanting to rebuild. I'm going to rebuild mine too, gonna need a new quarter panel, and all that bullshit..but if a car means a lot to you, it's worth it. my dad bought mine brand new, and i literally grew up with it. it's like part of the family.

that really doesnt look that bad to get that car back on the road. for someone that can weld, a half of the 1/4 with b pillar is a 1 weekend with a few cases of beer job, a new door, and a bit of paint. I would take the insurance money and look for a body guy that does side work out of his garage to do up the rear, and a used door can be had for 50 dollars easily.
sure the car will no longer be exactly like it was, but it can still be drivable and decent looking for a pretty cheap price if you know a few of the right people...

Dude, I'm so sorry to hear this. My daughter backed our Durango (family car for the 5 kidsw) into the rear driver's side quarter pane on my car. Mine's totally fixable, but I'm still just gutted. When I first saw the damage, I couldn't speak for 15 minutes.
Good luck with the insurance stuff. I really hope you come out of this OK.Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

Having been t-boned similar to that except on the driver's side, I can relate to the feeling of loss when you first see the damage. That said, salvage it. My cabby got whacked pretty hard too, and when the B-pillar and quarter panel were removed and replaced, it cleaned up quite nicely. This is hardly the end, its a chance to revive and rebuild. Getting it back from the body shop sparked the beginning of my mods, and the chance to work with a fresh slate may provide the inspiration for you too.
