Because I do, so I t-boned this car today and my TA got pretty F'ed up as you will see in the pics...

5:30p.m.: Get the car to Mikes house, first pics taken.

As you can see the damage is pretty severe, and insurance company would have called this car a total in a heartbeat.

 

here is another angle

 

6:00p.m.

Got the hood off and the front nose as well as all internal supports, straightened the hood latch.

 

another angle

 

7:00p.m.

Straightened everything and put it all back together, replaced bashed hood with a stocker hood "wich like more anyways" and reused the front nose.

 

front view you can see the nose is a bit tweaked but I have straightened it since the pic and put the headlights back in, looks like it was never hit.

can of black primer to to paint the hood and nose = 3.50

Cost of replacment hood = 75.00

Time in labor = 1 & 1/2hrs.

Going from totaled to ghetto fabulous in 1 & 1/2 hrs.!? = priceless

I'll take a pic of the complete car tomorow in he day so it will coem out better.

Oh yea and if anyone has a spare TA nose let me know, I could use a replacement anyways.

 

nice man. wish i coulda got mine fixed that fast n cheap.

 

Damn that sucks man. At least this happened BEFORE you got your paint, that woulda been horrible!

 

Hell yea that would have been horrible! *** bless primer.

 

Wow! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed! :claphands:

 

Maybe now all you dumba$$es will stop making fun of me when I drive like a grandma everywhere and drive exactly or under the speed limit. I think I'm the LAST remaining person in our little Tucson group that hasn't trashed his thirdgen in a wreck or two. Mike gets bonus points for crashing somebody else's thirdgen, and Synapsis gets the double bonus round for crashing his on purpose (repaint, wink wink).

 

This had nothing to do with driving the speed limit, I was driving the speed limit and I must have had the biggest brain fart on earth to do what I did. It was those wrong place, wrong time dealies.

And I'm not a dumba$$, it can happen to anyone even slow *** grandma drivers like you.

Now pass me tha banana coniac bleatch.

 

Holy **** dude. It's crazy that you f'ed up your car like that, and double crazy that it's almost straight the same day.

Did you have insurance?




And for the record, I didn't "crash" the car. Every panel is still perfectly straight and never got a dent. All I did was take someone else's paint and pinstripe my car with it. Sorta.

Now the Bug, I purposefully rammed someone blocking me in my driveway once. I got a dent from that.

The 4Runner has a thick-*** steel tube bumper, stay tuned on that one.

 

I am not obligated to release that kind of info at this time .

I took some pics today of it completed until I can get my hands on a new nose.

I'll post them later.

 

Been there...

 

Ya know, you better pray to *** you never run into me without any insurance. If some one ran into me with no insurance, they would be getting a busted jaw at the very least. Grow up and spend the $80 a month...dumbass.

 

I definatly need to get insurance but until I get a job "jobs = money" I can't

Where do you come from and get all crazy? I would feel sorry for the guy whos jaw you'd break but did I hit your car? no? Then back off.

 

No insurance? Please do not drive. No... I'm serious.

I think it's the law too.

Just sayin',

Mang this thread is intended to show people how crafty Mike and I are with our hands, not a lesson on driving laws etc.

if ya want to talk ****, feel free to PM me about it.

 

I think the pics speak for themselves. The concern your mates on the board (like me) are showing is really for your own good.

I know you get that.

BTW - sweet work in 12 hours on that front end.

hehe

I know, you guys are just looking out for me lol. but it gets on a persons nerves when they not only have to hear it in person but online 2 LOL.

 

"get a haircut, and get a real job! da na na nu nah!"

 

Not to mention...you get into a wreck with no insurance, your fault or not, and you go to jail bud.

 

hahah that’s why people have guns for fagots like you that think your Mr. Tuff Guy and can beat up who ever you want. Besides thats another good reason why you should drive a fast car so you can run like hell after you hit somebody or somebody hits you and you don't have any insurance then go find parts for chaep and fix it.

Insurance is for suckers that like to waste money on a government scam to make more money. I have never had insurance in the four years that I have been driving I have been pulled over 13 times for all kinds of bull $hit and have received 4 tickets for no insurance, and have gotten out of all of them because all you have to do is go to court with a piece of paper that says you have insurance and they will drop the ticket. Even if the piece of paper is forged and fake a$$ hell


85vortecta good job on the clean get away. I’ am proud of you
