I couldn't figure out how to post these pics and he said he would post them for me.

I would like some input on the window post, I think it needs to be replaced on a frame rack
The other stuff I could do. Maybe.
And also what do you think it would cost to have it welded in place?

Check it out when he posts them up.
thanks
Scott

what did he do? it's kindof an interesting coincidence, did'nt you just say the other day that it might be too much car for him? no one was hurt i hope. window post huh? sounds hardcore... Shocked

It happened about 2 months ago,
It was a bit icy, he hit the gas a little to hard, would up in the ditch about a 4 foot drop and ran along a bunch of fir trees.

No one got hurt, just his pride.

looking for another shell now,
Its a fast car but he wrecked it about 30 days after it was road worthy.
Still drivable, but is really nasty on the passengers side, pretty much all the way down the car.

I think he would have turned it on its side if the trees weren't there.

I still like the car, If I had it my way Id fix it but, he can't wait that long Iam afraid, If it was mine id park it and fix it over the next year.

I was just wonder what you all think about it, once you see the pics.

where is insane??????

Scott

That looks pretty bad. Sad

Front fender support looks pushed back.

Oddly enough John, Bart and myself saw a white firebird smash into the back of a van or suv or something. Hit HARD. The entire front end was trashed back to the doors. Never seen one quite that mangled from a hit like that.

As a side note, the rest of our cars just went up in value Laughing

awwww... the antenna broke off.. thats a writeoff dude.

scott in wa. · Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 7:20 pm Post subject: so what do you guys think

New shell time?
fixable?
nasty huh.

aaron_sK · Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 8:24 pm Post subject:

It's hard to tell due to the fact that the front fender and door are still on the car, but is the A-pillar pushed back at all? That would be a lot harder to fix.

iansane · Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 9:18 pm Post subject:

I think biggest deciding factors would be how bad the rear quarter is up near the crease and hatch and how far the fender support/core support are mangled.

It'd probably be easier to find another car than to fix this one. Sad

Been looking at cars,

Thanks for offering to help me.

oh shizzle that has to hurt it makes me wanna cryim assuming he either spun out or went into a corner too hot and hit a guard rai?

Not to belittle the damage, but somehow I expeceted that A piller on the Pass side to have a giant fold in it from scott's description. Its really too bad about the car though, probably repairable, but not worth the time/money/effort, when you can swap the powertrain over to a straight-bodied rolling Z or RS chassis. Good luck to you and your son Scott. Glad nobody was hurt.
