Re: My shitty luck streak continues damn it.

Here's the funny part, they can cut and weld the fram rails. They can fix the body damage. The towing company poored that sand in the ar (dunno why) and it had used motor oil mixed with it. So to sum it up what totalled the car was the towing company dumping that sand in there and wrecking the interior, which now needs a full restoration, we'll find out for sure if it's going to be totalled or fixed tommorow. I'm honestly thinking if it's totalled I'm going to buy it and do the work myself, as a project. Not sure yet though.

That's true, but judging by how badly folded the hood and right fender is, I would guess that it needs a whole new right upper rail, they could probably section the lower rail, and most of the apron would have to be replaced along with the entire core supt, and probably pull the left side rails straight. That's an easy 80 to 90 hour job just for the body work, then add on another 15-20 for the paint work, plus the cost of parts and materials, and that would probably total the car. I was just looking at the pics a little closer, and by looking at the left fender, the front end is swayed WAY to the left, which means that the damage probably goes back as far as the firewall, and A-pillars.

P.S. I'm a professional body guy and work in a shop, so yeah, I know what I'm talking about.
