pictures are worth a thousand words, but I got just one..... fukindammit$hit!!!!

went sideways in a corner, and took out a dead tree, I think, or it might have been alive, but not very big.











the bottom rocker panel pieces have to be addressed too. The rear shark fin piece is VERY loose now too. 6 guys pushed while I had the car in reverse, and we got the car out without a tow. no police, so right now no ticket. The tire would rub on the fender when I hit a hard bump, and the geometry is off- the steering wheel is rotated about 30deg right. Motor runs fine, and the bonnet opens and closes with no hitch. So does the driver door. no glass broke, and no airbag deployment.

Hopefully its all bolt on parts. The door and hood look ok with still aligned seams from the pictures. Maybe a fender bumper and lights. Sorry to see it Geoff.

C2?

Either way it was too fast in.

$7500 to fix it right

hawk911

yeah- c2. I don't remember lifting or braking until after we were in the slide...

Navaros911

Sorry to hear... It's hard to remember the don't brake and don't lift stories when you feel the rear coming out.

Hope you have full insurance... That will probably not be cheap to fix, especially withh some suspension work that we can't see from the pics. 7.5k soundss high, but I'm known to underestimate.

hawk911

full insurance with a declared value if I need it. Hoping I won't, but I'm sure they will not agree with the current declared once fixed.

Chin up, Hawk, it happens to the best of us.

I'm upset, and disappointed, but it's just a car. We both walked away from the incident with no bruises or bumps, or worse. So all in all, just car damage is easily swallowed, along with some pride.

Ouch - sorry to see but glad you're okay.

Probably the wrong forum to say to this, but ... "it's just a car, at least you're not hurt" ... rebuild and move on ...

hawk911

Paulie, it's ok to say that here too. That was my feeling as we surveyed the damages.

jimq

Hey this isnt the 993 board so it allowed
The real question is whats it gonna cost you to make up for scaring the day lights out of your wife

Laker

Ouch is right, painful to see the sheet metal but glad you are ok, and no cops involved.

As mentioned above the door and hood gaps look good. Open the front hood and snap a few pics of the tub where the fender attaches and the fuel filler neck.

Also look under the car for tub damage at the suspension points.

Glad you're both ok.
