Hey all,
I'm sure you remember that I wrecked my car a few months ago. Well I finally got it into the shop to get it fixed.

Wow what a mess
It appears when i hit the tree, I pushed the passenger side frame rail into the oil filter. Thats why it was leaking oil after the accident. My body guy said it is a very easy fix, I just hope it don't affect my turning ability's and stuff like that.


The list of parts need also are as followed:
1. Hood
2. Driver side fender
3. Header panel
4. front mask

If anyone has these parts please...please pm or email me at wmiller@dataeclipse.com ASAP. I really want my car back!

Thanks

 

You pushed the frame rail into the oil filter, and you don't need a passenger side fender? I hope you have a good frame guy, because this is going to need a fairly good "jig 'n' jerk" to run straight. Sounds to me like you will need a front clip as well as sheet metal.

Regards,

I don't need a passenger side fender. If you look at the pictures in my sig, (click aftermath), you'll see this picture... Doesn't look like it needs replaced to me.

 

Before you start buying the bolton parts, make sure the frame is checked at the suspension pickup points... Also check the engine where the motor mounts attach to make sure youu do not have a cracked block...
A good frame shop should have the specs/locations for measuring the frame..

 

k, went and looked at your pictures. Its a bit ugly, but certainly not as bad as I envisioned when I read your post. I'd be curious how that frame rail on the passenger side got tweaked bad enough to rupture the oil filter. Did a motor mount break and the engine shift? It doesn't look like the passenger side is out of alignment.

Regards,

 

So where is the damage?

 

It looks like he hit a tree head on, impacting just to th eright of dead center on the front bumper cover. No broken glass/turnsignals, and it looks like the bumper shocks took a lot of the impact.

I'd be willing to bet that the car is going to need a new front clip/radiator support, and at least three hours on the frame rack to run straight, or else things won't line up properly.

Regards,

I'm sure he's measured. If not i'm going to be extremely mad. BTW, This is a body shop its at. Just my bosses best friend

sh944,
Hmm, I'm looking at a front clip on ebay. I just called the body guy to see what he thinks, not there thou. (He had it on the frame machine last night)


You're right it was a 40mph head on hit with a tree. Bad judgment and stuipidity, never will i be that stupid again.

 

Found a hood here localy. A 944 non T, but it will work
