Yeah she is ok besides a few bruises which is a god thing. That is also a testament for the way these cars are built too, it was a pretty big hit and she walked away sore but other than that fine. This was also a reason I liked her driving that car.

Damn man must've been a big blow there... sorry to hear what happened.

Curiously though, from the photos it looks like a wreck (frame damage)?

fix it up, you should be on the road pretty quick:
- rad support: 250
- hood: 400
- bumper: 200
- headlights: 300
- fender: 150
- condensor: 150
- radiator: 150
- labor: 1500
- misc: ?

or i can assist in finding you an sc with missing interior, hit in the back, etc that you can fix with your current car. This may be the better option.

An SC is almost always worth fixing but you must consider the value of the car.
It is a '92 so it probably isn't worth much more than 7-8K. How much mileage?

Well, good luck.

BTW, you should have posted this as NWS This is way too graphic for younger viewers.

I highly doubt that the frame is bent more than a couple mm's. I've seen worse with no frame damage. When people say " if there is frame damage it will never drive the same" they haven't gone to the right shop. Although there are situations when that is the case, this is not one of them. 1-2 hours on the frame rack and a new core support at most as far as the frame is concerned.

I feel your pain totally, i recently just got into an accident also. Hydroplaning on a freeway is not fun especially if the curb smashes your intercooler i can tell you that. Luckily, my accident was not as severe as yours. Glad to see that you are ok.
