Default New Exterior Mods... ugh

My Fiance' was driving my car yesturday and was in an accident. No word yet from insurance on if its a write-off or not. It WAS in pretty good condition for its age (1997), and relatively low milage (170,000km/105,000mi) I guess its a waiting game. To bad the first pics I post of my car have to be of it in less then stellar condition! Excuse the picture quality...its from my cellyphone.

I'll keep you all posted.

If you look at this last pic, you can see the imprint of the licence plate of the other car. Speaking of which...here is a pic of HIS damage. Pisses me off....

Looks like for sure you need a new bumper, fender, upper control arm, and knuckle. Other things that could be bad are the frame, wheel bearing, or lower control arm. Good luck with insurance! Don't let them dick you!

its all good just pop out that big dent and pull the fender out a little and it'l be good as new. might ride a little funky if the suspension got jacked up. seriously though, it doesnt look that bad. new fender and bumper cover should do it. hopefully there is no suspension damage.

dito. looks very fixable!

if it looks like there is any frame damage up front uptop on the strut tower then just buy some upper camber arms. that should give you enough adjustment to straighten up the wheel even if it is bent alittle....


and just because the other guys car doesnt look damaged it can be damaged behind the bumper very easily!
