Yeah, its in a snow drift, I got to get a fender off of it so I will be digging out the front some time this week. I will try to take pics of it. lol. At least the cold doesn't bother me if I am dressed right. And btw the bumper is silver.
First off... good to hear that you're ok... cars can be reshelled and rebuilt...
Now, rant time...
Man... I f*cken _hate_ 4 way stop signs for just that reason...
Over here, there is no such thing as a 4 way stop... Driving in California, it was such a head f*ck pulling up to a stop sign and looking to see if you can spot the other stop signs so that you know if the cross traffic is stopping or not... and if you take too long trying to figure it out, the cross traffic takes off in front of you even if you have right of way...
F*ck that... you guys can keep that sh*t...

I have quite a bit of experience with filler and painting.... so I am willing to lend a helping hand if you so wish. I am located in Manchester... it is an hour from both Cookeville and Nashville...
If only I had a place to work out of here - I would have you fixed up really good, I used to fix crap like that all the time.
But yeah, that Supra is so easily savable, and I am glad to see that you came out alright. Cookeville is a little weird when it comes to driving around in the residential areas, so what happened to you isn't very surprising... just count your blessings!

Yep, I know what you mean, its irritating. Most people don't even know how to use a 4 way stop, let alone actually know what "the-right-of-way" means.

I've got a garage heated too. Over Xmas Break looks like I'll be seeing if I can repair her. If not then off to get a qrter panel and weld it on.

There will still be plenty to do when you get back if you still would like to come over and shoot the shit, free beer and w/e I decide to grill. LOL
This has really set me up for the summer project I had anyways: Go single 2jz, wheels, paint, and maybe something else.
Well, during the worst flood Nashville has ever seen in history. My brother from another mother WesPatt and I worked 21+ish hours on repairing and reshaping what was left of the quarter panel.
We succeeded and I've never felt so happy with seeing Army Green self etching primer on this car in my life. I am truly amazed at how well we were able to get this thing back in shape. Wes is the one who should get all the props, I was more muscle and tearing things down as I'm about as knowledgeable on body work as I am with underwater tennis. So On to the pictures.
Remember now, this was happening and accomplished with two days of solid rain and houses floating down I24 here in Nashville. I don't have a garage and didn't drive it up to my parents to use theirs so we built basically a tent garage and it worked quiet well.

Thanks guys, it was well worth the pain to get her back in shape.
looks like you guys got some shape back in that quarter.
did those puller holes get welded shut? if not, the body filler will absorb the moisture from behind and crack.
might not happen for a few years, just a lil FYI.

They will be when it goes to paint, the filler is just a temp fix to keep its shape and keep it from rusting.

Put a primer/sealer on the rough repair to prevent rust, not filler, filler absorbs moisture. Why would you go to the trouble of putting in all that mud, shaping and finishing because you will just have to take it all out to find the holes you drilled for the puller. IMHO there is WAY too much filler in that panel. Correct repair for that would have been to do a partial replacement the quarter panel. Would not have been difficult since the inner panels were fairly straight as indicated by the fit of the doors and hatch.
Good effort in taking on the repair yourself, but sometimes, it is just not worth it. Unlikely that this repair will be undetectable, and if so, it really hurts the value of your car. A correct repair would be undetectable and preserve the value of your car.
