alright... Got the claim started an estimate by the best body shop in this area... about 2400. This includes a new bumper cover, center garnish and all the labor/paint/supplies.. not as bad as I thought. They said if I can get my own bumper and or taillight garnish that cost will be deducted...
oh yeah I totally agree with the taillights.. I am in fact upgrading to 89+ jdm tails. Just gotta save up the money to buy em... unless i can use the insurance money :D
So I took a closer look today... I can't really tell, but if there is frame damage, it's very slight. I'm going to try and get some estimates from notable body shops around town (google search and any shop that hass 100% 5 star rating with 30 or more reviews, my number one choice has 168 reviews...
yeah.... gonna have a good look tomorrow morning... but I also noticed (as prompted by jdmma70) that the panel right behind the driver side poor is push forward, so that when i open the door, it drop slightly and the glass rubs against the plastic trim panel right behind the window... fml
Aight I got pics
What I saw initially... talk about heart rending :((((
Here you can see how far in the back panel got pushed
So I got news that in Texas, no matter what, the person doing the rear-ending is at fault. Also because we were both at a full stop, and I...
Hey... yeah I'm not expecting too much. I called up my insurance and the adjuster person should get back to me by tomorrow. I think I can salvage the brakelights... the bumper maybe not. And what's going to need body work is the panelling above the bumper... I'm going to bump up the jdm tails in...
Fuck... just got rearended again!!!! Wtf... this time there is much more damage... the fender is smashed in. My brakelights are popped out and the hatch doesn't close all the way... I got her policy number... idk ut else to get. Totally at a loss right now.... the girl is in my class so if I...

Hey does anyone know if 1988ma70supra is still around? It's been awhile but I thought I'd take him up on the ddp offer... the other seller just dissappeared... I finally gave up waiting for response from him. Btw SA Supra, do you still have those interior pieces? :D

well... after some thought... no work this weekend, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy it. I need a new cold start injector and a new tb gasket to finish the upper plenum, and since I have to wait two weeks before I can afford to get those items, I'm gonna postpone the work until I have ALL...

Hmm I have long since fixed my piping problems... but I can say that I have not heard back from HPF on that email either. I DID hear back from them when I asked why shipping a few gaskets cost over 50 bucks for shipping (the gaskets themselves were 12 bucks total) .. and got some bs answer... I...
