My car is dead

Well, after six months of work, I got to put about 3000 miles on my camaro before a lifted F250 superduty decided to run it over. Here are the pics of what it looked like when I first got it, after it was almost ready to be painted, and after I had a truck on top of it.

You can actually see the tire mark where he went over me. All is well though, because today, only two days after that happened, I got myself an 88 Iroc to put all the good parts on for $300. I came out fine, but the damn faulty seat belts didnt lock and the ugly air bag that i only tolerated for saftey, didnt even deploy.

yeah, the frame is trash, but the drivetrain is still good. Ive spent the last week with my buddys putting everything into the iroc and now the little bastard wont run right. I guess the 88 and 91 ecm's and the tbi setups are a bit different.

that's aweful. It's hard to see the bright side, but at least it didn't happen after you put a lot of money or time into a paintjob.
