I got my Camaro back if u recall from Dec. 3rd 2006 my car was in a small accident where an old lady hit my car w/ an excursion while i was gettin a pepsi. For those who didn't remember here is a link to that conversation https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/auto...camaro-rs.html

BEFORE




AFTER


The Car went in on Feb. 12 2007, got it back Feb. 21 2007, lol the accident was Dec. 3 2006, do the math and i waited a long time for it to get fixed. December and January was the months people were hitting deer w/ their cars here in Wyoming =(. Guy did a beautiful job but it looks **** cuz the paint doesn't match the 16 year old paint. I plan to paint it Red w/ Black Heritage Edition Stripes. They billed the insurance company $1100, i payed $1800 for the car in November 2006 lol. Damn old lady and their tanks!

 

lookin good u got any pics of the whole car

 

Here are the pics of the whole car, only that section was damaged. I'll get a pic of the car tomorrow the damaged repaired




Before accident pic




as u can tell i need a new paint job BAD. it would cost about $2000-2500 to paint it they way i wanted, taken to bare metal and start over. the paint job would be Red w/ Black stripes.

Try having the paint buffed out by a pro first. The paint is oxidized badly, thats it. I have buffed many red cars out and they look amazing after-ward.

 

The difference really makes you appreciate a new red paintjob though. At least it's fixed, Here in Michigan you'd have been out of pocket. No Fault sucks.

 

Is that the same bottle of pepsi on your hatch that you were gettin when it got hit?

The car looks like it's in good shape for how old it is. At least you don't have to worry about repairing horrible quarter panels and dents all over the car.

 

I agree with the paint buff. that looks as bad as my firebird when I first got it.

Also.. holy crap.. that shifter is like a friggin mile tall!

 

I was gonna say the same thing.......and is that a car phone I see

 

.. and a cassette deck!

You must have been too cool for school if you were driving that in the 90's!

 

oh wow!! does the car phone still work?

 

damn, I was going to lol@ car phone, but you guys beat me to it

 

well atleast you got your pepsi...

 

Dont the shops in Wyoming know how to lighten paint to match or is that a Virginia thing. Color is way off. Doesnt it **** you off, they paint car and you have to live with the mismatch crap.

 

You would have been better off trying to find some used already oxidized parts.Maybe they would have matched better and you would have a few extra $ in your pocket

 

i took the phone out it doesnt work. the deck is a 1O disc changer by sony. i give props to the guy own it last (1st owner and im the 2nd). he really took care of it. engine runs awesome like new with no rebuild wat so ever. its 125K miles on it.

 

$1100? That paint shop consists of a bunch of criminals. A used red bumper and side spoiler piece would be $75 and match alot better. They should have used the other $1000 to blend that paint.

 

Good work!

After wreck and after repair. In total, accident cost me 325 for parts, 225 for radiator pull, and 450 for paint + alot of time. Oh yeah, then last tuesday someone dented the fender in a park and ride lot....

sigh at least now I have leftover parts.

 

Don't get my wrong guys, I wasn't trying to bust his chops over it.
It's just been forever since I've seen a stock height shifter and I was in a bit of shock.
I hacked mine (on the RS) the day I bought it and my 'bird as well...

 

Is that a sunroof I see?

 

i too see the sunroof

 

Yup that is a sunroof, the guy put it in. it doesn't leak and i can remove the glass and have a semi t-top lol

 

Not your fault.... but

 

Still have my Washington state plates too. Although, they're no longer on the car that brought me east...

 

congradulations on your repair

 

dealing w/ an accident in ur first car is not a fun experience when ur 15 years old.
