If it's gonna cost me a car I'm gonna get some meat out of it, even if it was only a chop or two...I suppose it wouldn't be in good taste to post the pics I took in my yard yesterday...Oh well, nobody ever accused me of being tasteful :D Quote Selected
T-Bird: 1 Deer: 0 Reply #18 – June 20, 2009, 01:33:24 PM Ugh, deer.My XR-7 was a deer victim, that's how I ended up getting it. The guy's daughter hit a deer (and then skidded into something else I imagine). She was too scared to get in it again, so the dad parked it and let it sit for years and years. They only had liability coverage on it, and since she didn't want it, he didn't fix it. This pic is how I found it, with only 32k miles on it:At least yours still rolls. I had to replace a strut and inner tie rod (and I really should replace the rim too, it pretty banged up). I had to replace the passenger fender, header panel, and hood. I may have to replace the bumper support too, something still doesn't look right. I have it cobbled together right now until my appointment at the body shop to have the unibody laser aligned. Then everything should fit nice.If you need the front end straightened, shop around at different body shops. I got a variety of prices ranging from $120 to $500+. I find it helps to dress like a bum so they think you don't have much money, heh...CoogarXR Quote Selected
T-Bird: 1 Deer: 0 Reply #19 – June 20, 2009, 02:49:34 PM Eventually it will get it aligned but being a 19 year old and living on your own money is scarce. (Not a plea or anything, I'm deadset on getting this done by myself but I appreciate you guys offering me parts, this is what makes this community so great). But for right now I need to know which fenders fit, I'm assuming all 83-88s, and if I get a 87-88 I'm sure the trim will be off but that's okay, I just want the car drivable right now. I also have to find a fairly rust free fender which is gonna be a real bitch. The killer about this happening is how good of shape the car was in, all gaps correct, no door sag, the car was in near perfect shape in my eyes. Just a little set back is all but still kind of depressing.I also have the Cougar for parts if it comes down to that, I've been considering parting it out but since it's my first Fox I'm quite attached to it.
