Well, my car is mostlikely gonna be totaled, i was involved in an accedent today, at about twelve today.... ill post pics in few min.. got to put the pictures up online....

 

Dang that sucks, i hope the damage isnt too bad.

 

here are the pics









The core support is SMASHED, i was able to drive the car to my house, it didnt need to be towed...

 

That sucks man. That is what i am scared of. On the brightside tho, time to upgrade.

 

If shes still drivable id say its worth repairing, totaled or not.

 

BTW.. the accident was deamed No one at fault.....

Thanks guys, yea i'm not sure what i'm gonna do with the car, I only had liabilty, so not going to get anything from the insureance company. its gonna sit for a few weeks before i figure out what i am going to do with it... Thank god for steel cars.. even if it is a unibody. on GM's part.

The car could go up to be parted out here soon, ill let you all know.
----------
The core support is smashed, the fan litterlly cut the a/c compressor belt, the car will never be the same, too much frame damage...

 

I agree what he said Sorry to hear that I kinda liked your car to I hope you keep it and fix it up its worth it

 

NIGHTMARE!

But IMO that looks fixable it is all up to you.

Something in the water over there in Cen Cal?

My condolences from the liability / uninsured crowd.

 

Just was able to pop open the hood on the car... The core support is destroyed, everything in the front driverside is gone.. nothing good.. a lot of sheet metal/frame is gonna have to be replaced inorder to fix it.

 

That's all do-able. I mean it drove home for christ-sakes.

Can't keep a good Chevy down

 

It bearly got home lol, but yea, it drove home, Im just still in shock at the moment, My father is going to come look at it when he gets back off of his det, i will know what i am going to do to the car when me and him have a good look over it

 

Plus burlys are rare, dont part it out. Id spend the extra $$$ to have it fix. It must be a tough camaro. Besides it looks to be solid and looks like it has low milage. Keep all of us posted

 

I know mine's been in a few fights before I owned it

(Not to mention shot with a 12 gauge)

Perhaps we're very much alike....

 

yea.. i know they are rare, this one has been through its fair share of fights as well... Driver side door was hit.. from what it look like.. hard when it was new. I just dont know if i am going to have the money to put it back together properly and correctly.

 

That's a heck of a crunch. Problem is the core support is welded in, and tough to get out, and install a new one.

Good luck.

 

"tough" isn't "impossible"

Who else is gonna rep for the V-6 berly crowd?

 

yea.. thats the problem, and it looks like the front subframe, right after the support was crushed as well, i dont really want to take a detailed look atm...

 

I understand man but look on the bright side, YOU are ok, vehicles can be replaced.

 

yea, thank god me and the lady/children were wearing seat belts, no one was hurt thank god, perhaps scared crapless... Only bad thing is.. I hit a cops wife... Thank god she said it wasnt my fault though.. one thing is for sure though.. I AM NEVER going to buy a car with rear drums again... if i had disk breaks all around i would have stoped in time... i locked up the rear only bad thing is.. I didnt take the damn ford with me...

 

that sucks man its most likely totaled now its time for a iroc

 

yea, the insurance company is gonna do it as a write off, only had liabiltiy on it, so their not even gonna come take a look at the car

 

at least came out of the accident un hurt. glad ur ok.

 

[QUOTE=8Mike9]That's a heck of a crunch. Problem is the core support is welded in, and tough to get out, and install a new one.

I hit a deer in my '93 Eclipse back in the day. My brother and I drilled out the spot welds, removed said crushed core support, straightened the bent front end, replaced core support/radiator/hood/windsheild and never told the insurance. (Sold it for $500 the next year and got my wife a mountain bike) The car still goes down the road today! That might have been a waste of $, but a Berly is worth it IMO. I still have that driver's side door if you want it for FREE! Come and get it. It's definitely up to you, but if they do total it and you are gonna let her go, definitely don't crush her! Someone could fix her up nice. Sorry for your loss, BTW.

 

well dude that sucks whats the details on the accident,

i say that its too far gone unless you have a welder and great experience....
that is far beyond cosmetical....


on the other hand i have an 87 trans am for you to check out something worth restoring....

 

. Our cars a very rare how many 83 burlys do you see compared to Z28s and IROCs not much at all. But I hope you can fix it that would be a shame to have 1 less 83 burly out there

 

**** man glad you're alright.

on the other hand, you've got a pm firebreed

 

I have an 84 berlinetta that had more damage than that on it.. cost $500 to get the frame repaired and another $300 to replace the needed parts... most people spend alot more on thier third gens than that for upgrades... so it is resonable to fix it.

 

Hey Brandon, Sorry for your loss, Personally, I would let it go. Just think of the options available now to pickup a better thirdgen, option-wise. Unless you are really hooked on that car, Then I agree, It can be repaired.

 

well, heres the story...

going down the road (twelveth ave, traveling north) i come to a part of the road that is horable about people slamming on their brakes so i slow down to about 40mpg (speed limit is 45) a redish 93+ mudstang slamed on its brakes to make the turn that it almost misseed, causing the ford (looked like an f250) to slam on its breaks, then the truck that i hit (a 70 or 80's ranger) slamed on her breaks, i slamed on mine, locked up the drums, while trying to dodge the ranger, cliped the ranger on the passanger side rear bumper.

What surpised the hell out of me is when she called the police to come, she got the year of my car correct.. but then i found out her husband was a cop hanford PD arrived about fifteen min later, first words out of his mouth to me was... "In a hurry there buddy?" i wanted to deck the cop...

Thankfully, the lady who i hit, said that it was unavoiable that i hit her, just not enough time for me to stop even with the proper 3 car length distance i was following at... No one was cited for the accident, and it was demed no one at fault....

 

Brandon wont look at restoring a car if he/we wanted to do that though we could still use my GTA as a project restore car
----------


I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Glad your okay honey!!! I love you so much! i still cant belive my boss wouldnt let me leave sooner to come down and see you but i still made it down there, told you i would

 

Ellen, I wouldnt touch your GTA to restore it, IM sorry but seeing how hot that Fire got, i wouldn't trust the body of that car, even though it has SFC on it, not that i'm trying to seem mean, its just that i would never touch a car that has been in a fire.

 

Someday I would like to pay someone to reproduce my a unibody in aluminum to build from the ground up. That would be a sweet thirdgen.

 

Me and ellen took a look at the camaro last night, other then the core support being destroyed, the steering(possably the steering collum as well)needing to be replaced, bumbper and driverside fender the car is preaty much straight, however the inner fender needs to be fixed as well,where it connects to the core support is toast.. it will be alteast need to be cut out, and have a good piece welded in.

 

So have you decided what to do yet?

 

All stuff that should unbolt/bolt up. There's got to be some stuff off Ellen's that would salvage? The steering, core and innner fender anyways.

 

No i havent, the insurance company has to come out and take a look at the car before i can even start parting it out.

 

The car is going to be sold as is, not going to beable to had over the keys/title until my father gets home (his name is on the title) so if anybody wants to make an offer for it goahead, its gonna be sold AS IS

 

good move, you need to get rid of that thing and find a better starting point.

 

Have you listed it yet? How much? Not personally interested, but you never know who might be...

 

havent listed it yet, i'm not quite sure how much it is worth now, I was thinking i would take 900 for it, but i dont know if its enven worth that now... The rest of the car is straight and it has all of its interior... what do you all think?

 

400-500

 

Thats sad nice car I was hoping you were going to fix it up. So you going to buy another burly? I would of been intrested in it but you live to far away. And I dont think my parents want me to get another car HAHA.

 

lookin at an IROC-Z, tell you the truth, i dont have the money to properly repair the berly, and to me, to tell the truth, its just not worth repairing, yea, i know i'll spend more on a iroc, then to repair the berly, its just i dont have the time to do it, and i need a car ASAP.

 

I'll sell you my nissan. its faster than your camaro and handles better to. just needs head lights J/K

just don't get a red Iroc, theres to many as it is we don't need another

 

I think we need a silver Iroc in the family.

 

how about one that wont be red for long?

 

Dam that sucks. I hate IROCs only cuse I see 1 everyday, to much of them around. Dont get me wrong they are nice cars just way to much of them around.

 

over here i rarly see them i see more sc's and rs's

 

If Iroc = any 85+ camaro, then yes theirs alot, But if we are talking the actual Iroc's, Stickers and all, Then I am the only one in Placerville

 

Just oppisite here, every time I see a 3rd gen camaro its a IROC or a Z28.
