on my way home from my girlfriends today and some idiot in a f150 made a left turn right in front of me, no time to stop. took a couple hours of bending to get it pulled away from the tire enough to drive. still rubbed all the way home :cry: the frame is pushed back about a foot in the battery area

yea, not sure if it would be better to fix it or pick up a new shell and swap motors. friend of mine has a frame straightener so we are going to get it at least drivable

Good thing you are alright. Give it a try, but i'd look for a better shell and swap everything over, and also if you are NA then this might be a good time to go turbo :)....its an excuse

Dam that sucks. So if it was his fault what is his insurance going to do?

I would buy back the car and part out what you could and then in vest in a turbo as sooner or later your going to want a turbo.
N/a only does so much.....

i have plpd on my car, and theres a "no fault law" here in michigan so the only way to get it repaired by them is to take it to small claims court. i have the car, it was drivableish so i drove it home

That sucks bad!
This has got to be at least the third or fourth thread I've seen in a week where someone hit a pole, someone hit and ran in parking lot, not seeing the persons car in front of you and adding it to the top of yours. It makes me fearful to even start my car.


did you hit his back end or something? I'm trying to make a picture in my head, but by by what I see, it looks more like you made a left turn into him....
Actually, it occurred to me you were probably going down the road and he was making a left going the other way and hit your side? I've been in a similar accident that's why I ask, but I was the one turning left. The light had changed and I didn't want to be in the middle of the intersection anymore. but this tard going the other way flat out ran the red light and I hit his back left end.

I wish you the best of luck though.

thats wack. it looks kinda bad. once there is frame damage the car will never bee the same unless you do a miraculous job on it.. i would find another shell or possibly another car and part out yours.

the unibody is messed up but from those pic it really doesnt look like the frame is touched tho it is prolly looking like this l \. best bet would be to cut your loses and look for another car or if you have the means and want to try and fix that one.

So she messed up her front right the most then is how I'm imagining it.
are you going to try and get anything from her? Each states laws are different, but I found out in KY, no matter what, the person turning left has no right away what so ever.
And that you will be at fault every time. no matter if they ran the light or not.

im not too sure what exactly the law is and what i can do about it, im looking into it. right now im trying to contact the girls parents to see if we can handle this outside court because what the cop told me was basically her insurance wont cover my car under no fault laws but i could take her to small claims

That blows. Takes a pretty hard hit to smash the front end up like that:( Good luck, unless the body and interior is otherwise immaculate i would think another shell is the best idea. For now you might as well get it driveable, like you say and just use it until you can afford something. So what exactly is the point of insurance if theres a no fault policy and you cant get any money from the accident?

Sorry about the accident. 2 weeks ago I slid on some ice and hit a pole in my 87 turbo that I had for less than a week :(. Hope the insurance situation works out for you!
