Well, bad news some guy up here ran a red while i was turning and we tagged.

I basically hit him head on in the side so all of my damage is in the front. It appears well basically both fenders are toast, the hood ( i have a ascd ss one so thats ok ) and everything in the front. Don't know what it took out on the engine haven't surveyed that damage yet. Anyways, it looks like it got to the sway bar but didn't get into the crossmember that goes to each wheel.

My question is what is the place to look for the most damage and where does that usually occur. It appears the inner fenders are ok (strut towers etc...) How bad does this seem???

91 RS ( in need of surgery )

thx

 

awwwww man that sucks

you should have beat the muthafu(ka till he was dead!!!!!!

 

what all is involved in replacing those doghouses? is it pretty easy to get one out of a junkyard?

I've never taken them apart...

 

ok i have a little more general question, how hard is it to replace the metal section that goes between the two front fenders...??? and where would be a good place to purchase this at???

thx

 

Why dont u get yer insurance to do and pay for it...??? They can go after that *******s insurance.... Also, they never wrote it off?
Mine wasnt even that bad and they wrote it off....

 

well it could be a No Fault accident, which would SUCK!!!!!!!!!! I hope its not going to be but the way it happened there is a chance that it could be.

 

What do you mean a no fault accident? He ran a red,and hit you while you were turning so clearly he's at fault and should have to pay.

 

well here's the dumb indiana law, "your not supposed to enter an intersection (to turn left) unless you know you can make the turn before the light turns red" thats the dumbest f******* thing i have ever heard of...

 

I bought this '83 Berlinetta for $500 for a Z28 clone project in '91.Never happened
(before)

(after)

 

if your frame is warped your fudged ...sucks man..my friend just got into an accident too, warped the frame about 1/2 inch. he doesnt believe me when i say his car is never ever ever ever gonna drive the same.....i wanna see his face once he drives the car again, just so i can laugh at him for being a dumb***.:lala:

 

Yea I have some pics of her but they're too big to upload so i'll have to put them up on my website (which is not up now, lol) and then link them...

I decided to part her out and try to get my loan payed off, i'm selling alot of stuff...

And I'm looking for a 91 or 92 Z28 w/ L98 Thats my next car, i'll wait until I find one too...

 

No offense man, but just let the insurance company total that **** then go lookin for a Z/28...

 

well i would but being a double fault i'm probably not gonna get any money on the 91', i'll have to part her out myself

 

Here's some pics of the damage...

sounds like it would be totally his fault if i understand correctly. If he ran the red light then you had a green one, right? Which means you could make the turn before your light turned red. Am I assuming right?? If so, u shouldn't be worried. just my thought.

Peace...

Just saw the pics. were you hurt, man?? that's a hard hit!! it's not worth fixin her back up. If you don't get any $$$ then do as you planned and part her out. She will never drive or ride same. I feel for ya...

 

hey thx man,
no he was coming AT me on the SAME road... he still ran the red light, the light turned red for about a second ( i was in the middle of the intersection ) then i proceeded to turn left because the other direction had green, had to get out of the middle then the guy coming at me ran it. oh well sux...

 

same kinda thing on my bird,except lady was stopped at stop sign,and thought she could beat me thru the intersection thought ok new door and some bodywork,but the other side was the end the subframe took a beating,the insurance adjuster termed it as being "bananaed"first time ever heard that,so it was totaled,boy i sure miss her
