B-T-W if you don't mind what the heck did you hit?

[Rhadamanthe]

it was a nissan altima 95, iwas driving in straight line ,ididn't realize than the car was there,and ****ttttttttttttt.
next time please FULL COVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Rhadamanthe]

I want a price, forget the wheel,the brakes,the suspension and the radiator,my father repaired that, if you look at the nose of the car,it looks like it was pushed towards the right.
i need 2 fenders,hood,bumper,2 headlights,etc...
and what about the frame damage?????

[BLLDOGG]

werent you that guythat was suppose to get kicked out of the country and you said you would come back and we flamed you for something like no insurance or something and for coming back when you were suppose to? anyways, if you dont have frame damage, you could always replace and nows a good time to do a 98+ front conversion.

[Big Tymer]

first off, you paid WAYYYYY too much to start with. Second.... shes totaled buddy....

[Rhadamanthe]

yes but I already fix that and know iam getting my driver license, they never told my leave this country,just they charge a big amount,I went to the court,I paid like $800 plus a deductible from the other car,well is not the case
about your question the car HAS frame damage.

BTW my english has improved

[BLLDOGG]

your english has improved and im glad you got a license. if there is frame damage and you said there was, then the car is crap or a parts car

[j_downey50]

the very first thing you should do is take off the W68 kit and ship it to me. the car is totalled, so i'll just pay shipping to take it off your hands. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Rhadamanthe]

I'll take some pictures of the front tomorrow,then you'll see what iam talking about

From this angle it "looks" repairable, if it does have frame damage well, I hope you are good at welding.
(Im throwing a number from my head) Id say it will cost you between $1500 and $2k, including paint, body parts and other misc. stuff.

Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nope.. sorry man.. I was a bodyman/painter for almost 5 years. $1500 will barely pay for the paint job alone.

First of all, there is no way to even began to tell if the frame is damaged from a picture. You definitely have some major suspension damage for sure. Even if the frame is damaged, it's no big deal anymore.. Every decent body shop is equipped with a frame rack that could pull that out for you no problem. Just start calling around to find the shop with the best reputation in frame repairs. Tow the car down there and tell them all you want done is to check and/or straighten the frame. Bring the car back home and start replacing all the other bent/broken components yourself. Once it's back together, you'll need it painted and aligned etc.

The car looks repairable to me but you will be closer to $2500 at the least with $5000 more likely, depending on how much work you can do yourself. Good luck...

I'd definitely agree on calling around to body shops. Frame bending estimates will probably be different from shop to shop. Do a little competitive shopping. Also, for the body panels and stuff, look around at TAcreationsusa.com , eBay, and local salvage yards. You could save some money that way by getting used body panels.

if your profile is up-to-date and the car is stock and you have no real connection to it, just part it out and find another one.
v6 f-bodies are cheap enough to come by, at least around here.

[Loochy88]

are you insured? cause thats what insurance is for. take it in and see what they will charge you to fix the frame. if its too much then the cars done.
