Yesterday the most terrible thing happened. Some low life hit my blue 89 while it was parked in front of my house. As for insurance purposes the car is totaled period, but i dont want to let this car go unless its just beyond repair. Im taking it to the body shop tomorrow simply so they can tell me if the frame is bent or not. If its not, then i dont care spending whatever in order to have it fixed (maybe SWB?). THis was my first car...the one that started all this tbird mania on me, so needless to say i'm beyond devastated. Of course my luck, it was a hit and run by some drunken idiot who simply got out of his truck and ran away.
LIke i said, insurance will total it period, but i'm going to ask for the car back. Does anybody think this has a possibility for repair? If it has repair i'll have to find a place to store it while I find a place that will do the repairs. The only thing that came to mind is replacing the entire rear part...kind of like the short wheel base concepts from Autokraft...and shoot...call me crazy but i'll spend the 8k on this car to have it again. Yes its worth that much to ME, i just need to know if its repairable. Maybe im just in denial because of my loss.
If its simply beyond repair i'll have to suffer and strip the car for all my parts. The thing has a pretty much new engine and alot of goodies. Sux bc i had just purchased some 18's that i was going to put in it and i was planning to start fixing it up more after i finish the engine swap on my 92.
