As others have said, the important thing is you walked away from it. Hope everything else works out best as it can!
Got hit tonight, :) Fixed with pics on Post 91

I've been there man. I totaled my first Supra and it was all my fault. It's a sick feeling. Mine was an 87. I didn't think I'd EVER be happy again.
Then I bought my 91 and I'm all better now!
I'm glad you're ok. Good luck man!

Well I realize now that I can replace the body, but I cannot replace a person, my first concern was for the lady who hit me. Her airbags were popped out, but I'm glad she is ok.
I hope all my 87 stuff will go into an post 89.

Don't have a mig welder and don't know how to do the work on it
I'll prolly repair the wheel and stuff and drive it until I found a nice shell.
I have a radiator coming today, the fan shroud came lose on impact and knocked a nice hole in the radiator. But everything is fine engine wise
That's a repairable damage, coupled with some suspension arm replacement / realignment. I'll speculate repair bill from body shop to be $3.5k to $5k. I suppose you were at fault, so no insurance compensation coming your way?

Damn .... if you were closer I'd help repair it for a few Pizza's

Yes I was a fault, not moneys come to me. I fucked up, now I gotta fix it.
The way I'm looking at this is, $1.5k to get this body fixed, or buy a shell for 500ish and swap everything in, new body updated car etc.

I'll buy you a plane ticket, and you bring the welder. :biglaugh:

I'd say yes but my Mig is pre Inverter technology so is HUGE, excess baggage would cost too much!
i have to agree with ian on this, i have repaired far worse that that and somthings that should not really be repaired, replace all the suspension and drive it as is until a clean shell comes up
Line to the Hatch is still perfect so it hasn't moved anything structural, it would be an easy repair.....
