thats not as bad as I was expecting, are they going to pay for the damage?


Uh, yeah....right.

$4K?  They're going to want to total it.

no, they are going to to total it. i am keeping the car, but i won't get  very much.  the appraiser said he would do what he can, but i will probably be lucky to a couple grand total.
and no, it's really not as bad as it could be, it's the rear quarter panel that realy costs alot to replace, especially with the top on it. they would have to take part of it off and fix the body and put it back on. it would just cost too much.
I'll get it fixed somehow,  it's just going to take a while. i can replace the light housing, and the fender, and the door, but that quarter panel is going to be tough. especially since i have no access to anyone who does that kind of thing.unfortunately.

Where do you live? Man once Im out of school, if you get a quarter. I will help you. Quarters arent horrible to replace, and I'll be ASE Certified in 15 more months. ICAR Certified too.

I have a headlight bucket with the turnsignal. I'll get some pictures of it for you.
I also have a mint quarter on an '86 thats going to be junked soon. If I only had some way to cut it and get it to you...

Let me know if there's anything you need, I probably have it.

I think the big issue with that was that i have the Carraige top on it. the insurance people said that it has to be taken off at least partially to replace the quarter panel.
