Wow, that SUCKS! Sorry to hear about your loss.

I dont know why you'd want to replace it with a gutless 4.6 or a luxobarge though. To each their own I guess.

Man that sucks, but it might be OK. Pull the nose panels off and see what the subframe and shock towers look like. That might be fixable.

Glad everybody is OK.

I think I'd keep it and scrounge around for some body parts and reapint...

I wonder if the Subframes saved you some frame damage....

Sorry for your loss, man.  I can't imagine losing mine.

You could look for a Fox Mustang to slap that SC on...

I bet it's tweaked.  My '80 Capri RS took a hit like that and it didn't even look that bad on the surface and had SFCs, but if you looked at it from the back, the pass seat was 1-2" higher than the driver one after the hit. 

If you want to keep in a Fox, just find a donor car.  You're down south, so finding a clean one wouldn't be all that hard to do (unlike up here in the Rust Belt)

Good points Chuck. My Sport was tweaked hardcore after less of a hit.

Ouch!!! That sucks big time!! Sorry for your loss but I'm glad that you're ok. It looks like the p/s door is sitting allright. Rip that fender off and see how the door opens. It could be fixed, but not in a driveway. You'd need a frame machine with the proper jigs to hold the car and to line up the replacement parts. Also you'd have to remove the P/S subframe/core cupport/inner fender panel by cutting all their spotwelds once you've stripped everything else off the front.
It would be a heck of a lot easier just to get a another Fox Bird and swap the parts that survived.

Her Insurance can take it 1st car and there gonna fix this s*** if they want out cheap should of sent the lady some KC lights to go on top of her dark red SUV. She might have been on a cell phone not sure but when you make a turn or blind turn at least do it faster.

The insurance company won't pay to have it fixed.  It will be totalled.

Best case you'll get the car back and a little $$

Correct.  I feel for ya man. I would say get what you can, and look for another shell.  Youve stuck quite a bit into that car, and have a lot of parts that can be transferred over to a new body. I agree though, its probly tweeked bad.
