hello motown, I just wrecked my car!

Just get it out and fix it. If you said you're credit is fucked and you're going thru foreclosure, just fix it. I've got a great frame guy I know. He only works at this place 3 days a week, so he's slow, but he's damn good. Just cause the suspension is off doesn't mean it's junk. And frame rails can be pulled around depending how bad it is. Mustangs are cake.
 
and im sure matt can get you the parts

I wish I had 99-04 front end stuff. Those are the hardest frickin stangs to come up with good parts for. Plus it's tought with all the Made in Taiwan parts. Those fenders list out at 246 OEM, and aftermarket is around 60 bucks. I should be able to get 150 all day for a clean Ford fender, but most people don't care and they buy China crap. Either way, I actually don't have front end parts. I do have suspension parts though.
 
the adjuster said it will most likley go over.....

I dont really want the car around anymore after what its been through.... But yeah, its leaking oil,no ac anymore(compressor went bad and I put a pulley on it), squeaky clunky and Rattles like mad from the last accident....
Not to mention i need to put headers on it still since mine are rotted to hell...lol (I have some sitting here brand new BTW)
I suppose I could buy it back and fix it up, but we'll see what i get for it if it totals out....
Anyways, a few pics and my awesome rental...lol
The pics suck... but it doesnt seem so bad to me..










 
And as im sitting here thinking about it.....
I'm trying to remember everything the car has had done to it over the years...lol

Bfg drag radials 275/40/17.... I think thats all there was...

3 rear ends and also transmissions.. a set of heads(popped a plug and thought hell might as well do both for another 300$..lol) been in the shop 3 times for accidents when the car was parked, 1 time was over $10K this is #4 and my first hard hit in the car...
 
Jetta's rock

Drivers side fender is toast, hood maybe,
passenger fender might be ok,
drivers side wheel and tire are gone,
suspension on that side is bashed, bumper is destroyed
Windshield looks good...
I'm gonna go check it out a lil more and get a few pics after i get the rental in a few....


Speaking of rental... they have an HHR or a Jetta right now.... or I can pay 3.50 a day out of pocket for a Charger.... what will I do??? :lol:
 
Those don't look bad at all. No need for a steering column, nothing goes bad on those when the bag pops. Just two bags and a module. Prolly wanna get a new set of wheels when it's all said and done. Just something stock.
 
its gonna be close I think that it will need a column too Swisfter will verify that part for me

As mentioned, there usually isn't a problem with the columns. As for the air bag systems, these are the required parts for replacement and inspection...

Sorry to hear that! Glad you are okay, man!

Total that thing immediately though. It no longer has any re-sale, and will have problems forever.
