during my wife's trip to work this morning. she washiznit by a 20 yo kid. made a left turn while my wife was in the intersection. hit her just in front of the driver door. then sideswiped and spun her head on into a huge concrete light pole. here is the devistation the first picture is the initial impact. the second is the sideswipe.
sucks, car looks fixable from the pics just probly not in a practical sense.
heres more
i hoped to fix it but the strut tower is pushed in a good three inches. and theres about -15* of camber in the l/f heres more pics
Man that sucks! hope you can fix it . I hate to see'm go to the boneyard. And i hope the wife ok.
How's the wife?
so the insurance company is giving us $2k and i keep the car .so i think there is project turbo sport. every thing i can salvage is going in the red sport. plus thank god that the car has a strong chassis. i'd hate to think if she was in a honda or something.
the wife is fine a little shaken up thats it.
well iguess it could of been worse.
Happy to hear your wife is OK.
As much as we like these cars, they are just that, a car and can easily be replaced.
i know they can be replaced. and i thank god my wife is ok. but i still feel sick. i feel as bad as when my dog of 15 yrs died last year.
The wife is important. Glad to hear she's ok.
Salvage what you can of the car and build another even better one.
that sux, man. I'd say it's a good candidate for a parts car.
I'm glad to hear she's okay, though it had to be terrifying. Getting hit by someone who isn't paying attention is one of my major fears. If it's any consolation, it looks like you should be able to salvage almost everything. If you can get your hands on a good destination car, you can transplant just about everything if you wish, or just what you want to keep and part out the rest. I guess it depends on what you're putting it into.
That sucks man hope the wife feels better. Damm kid couldn’t wreck some other car he had to find the endangered turbo coupes.
I couldn't agree more with Innes. just out of curiosity what was the other kid who sideswiped you driving? good to hear your wife is ok.
she was driving an 03 cavalier. you think the turbo looks bad you should see this car. i saw it at the impound yard yesterday its crushed to the windshield.
... Sucks... Glad to hear the other half is OK...
Wow that sucks! well thats what these cars are made for! Good thing she's okay!!
I'm glad to hear your wife is okay. Sorry about the car but like others said, it's just a car.
Hey look on the bright side, I don't know how your wife is about Birds BUT now she probably won't give you a fit if you go out and buy a bunch more. Afterall, she knows from experience that they are safe :)
That sucks but at least no one was hurt. Cars can be fixed much easier than people.
Sorry to hear about that man...
Hope the misses is doing well.
And maybe the parts from the TC can live on in another project, And create something amazing.
well i have very good news. i just got back from getting the car and bringing it to the shop. went next door to the body shop and the owner came over and looked at it. he said it wasn't that bad. he could easily pull it straight for 2-300 dollars. so all i need to find is a core support. for now i'll steal the frt sheetmetal and door off the sport mount it so he can pull it then put it back on the sport.does anyone have a driver door and frt clip they want to come off with? also does anyone know if a mustang core support is the same? and once again guys thanx for the moral support. wooo hooo
