Damn that sucks, at least your okay. As for the damages theres alot of open space in that trunk, so I just looks probably more worse then it is.

well it got hit by a Rodeo... i think the frame in the trunk got bent about an inch cause my trunk doesnt line up and the other side of the trunk got wrinkled also... btw its black interior... i talked to a body shop and they said only way to fix it is to cut the trunk off another sc... plus sinces its totalled i cant really profit at all... i do have a weird problem tho... for some weird reason the car is runnin super lean, since i have an safc i had to raise its fuel 45% to make it run correctly on low throttle but at wot it runs normal...

Why don't you swap me interiors and I'll throw in some big money to help get your SC back on the road or start another project?

My SC400 needs the same rear quarter replaced at the moment. I feel your pain, the design of the SC makes a rear-quarter hit particularly expensive to fix. I was pricing rear quarters and a donor one goes for around $500 -- but the labour quotes I got for cutting and welding it in makes it about a $2500 job.

Your car was clean. Sorry about the loss, and best of luck getting it repaired.

yea of course but bondo is not meant to fill holes or gaps. with the change in the weather it will start to crack and eventually fall out. if its gonna be a project car, take up welding

We could just swap interiors and I'll give you some money on top. I know you want my SC's clean tan interior...

Are you really going to put a bunch of bondo on it?

hey if its a project car, why not? gotta learn some how, better a project car than a DD, or sell the guy your interior and part the rest of the car out, junk it at a yard for a couple hundred and buy a SC shell.
