Default Hardest hit I have ever seen one of these cars take. Entrer at your own risk!!!!
This is a 88 that I had done work on before. It was in really great shape. The owner had just rebuilt the head complete and new seals and water pump!!! He hit a Dodge neon at 50MPH. The engine was pushed back to the firewall!!!! The motor mount strut got ripped away from the block. The top of the tranny got ripped away from the mount. The steering column came up into the dash about 3".
Lucky driver got out with only a cracked rib!!! The drivers side door still opens a closes fine. THESE CARS ARE SAFE!!!!
I have the pistons and dme if anyone wants to convert to higher compression durning a rebuild. I also have the rebuilt head. The timing belt did not break, so the inside of the engine survived intact. The tranny, I will pull the gear set and sell it. The case got busted on the top mount.

WHAT the hell?

I like how his nose panel is still attached after he hit a neon going 50 and the demolished, whereas mine falls off under normal driving.

tranny is shot. They get stress fractures from front end collisions, even if it works initially it will fail after 5K miles or so.

I'd ask about the brake booster, but that particular component may be questionable at this time!
