Default No more 944 for a while(wrecked =/) **NEW UPDATE**

So on my way to school was a good 20 mile ride with my dad. I got to the campus and was backing into a parking spot and then Boom! This girl is a Toyota camry was Halling *** by me and creamed the front passenger side and nose. It was claimed no fault. And te lady cop said for the insurance companies to duke it out. I'm so devastated this is my 2 year full restore project this car is my pride and joy =(

I'll post pics soon.

Mike

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully only cosmetic damages. Hope you get a quick insurance settlement and get her going again soon!

Don't worry too much. I will donate a peice to you, say the headlight or a fender if you need it; just pay shipping. Find out how bad it is and keep us posted.

Thats a bummer, I just got done with my 2 month rebuild from a crunch... They all can be reborn! Keep the faith, and hope for no frame damage.

i will be happy to pay shipping a little extra if you can help me in any way! that would be so amazing bless you all. so i have some pictures. it might not look to bad but their is some hidden damage behind it. a little bends and twist. but nothing that can be fixed. with time and money of course. but i have spent the last 2 years fulling restoring my 944. it was a parts car with a blown motor. trash interior. paint rough. everything horrible just a straight body. and i have spent a billion man hours on it and spending my teenage life only on this car. i painted it and had done the interior well also a new heart for the beast. also lowered the front and reindexed the torsion bars. all on my own. no shop days here.

here is some before scenes and after.

Enjoy.

and michael ill shoot you a pm if you are serious on helping me out! =]



















and then the wreck.





=[ im so devastated. my friends thought i was being dumb because its just a car. but its not!

Looks very fixable.

Find a pick-n-pull and get the parts.

Or turbo nose time?
