Well if u got the bank for it i say fix it if u dont u can always buy a shell for pennys.. Is that a ge or gte??

Hunt her ass down!

+1!

Like someone said contact all body shops in the area. also if you have a friend in the police dept. or the DMV you could probably get a list of all celicas or rsxs that color in your area. Keep your eyes open and talk to everyone. also keep an eye on police logs, she may wait a few days and then try to say someone hit her than ran so her insurance will fix her car without surcharging her.
good luck and i hope you catch the bitch!

If your gonna try and fix it, make sure the frame isnt twisted before you start dumpin cash on it.

ge planning a swamp once i get the funds.i already returned my brand new laptop so thats 700 right there. where can i find these shells for cheap? i found a part out in my area so im going to head over there ASAP and get every front end part i see. might even bring a saws-all and cut it at the firewall to use as a guide etc :evil2: cant do anything till i take off the bumper and hood and check it out though. might take that part out home.

i hope i find her. she caused my damage, then 2 totaled cars in front of me when she sped off. im not going to cry over it thought. shit happens. glad everyone's safe and my car looks fixable. my dad does not seem as pissed as i thought too.

i have already found some nice 5 spoke rims for $50 just need to buy some good rubber.

Idk thats a lot of work.. that hit must have been nasty but ill recamend checking around for some shells or a high mileage non turbos u should be able to get them around 1500-2400 based on condition then u would have two to make one good car

I'd fix it if the frame is straight. Yea, try to find the lady and make her pay for it. Good luck to ya!!

99.99% of the people in the bay who drive Celicas or RSX's are girls. Same with Solaras.

 

[Poodles]

Fix it, will be easier to fix it than swapping everything to a new shell...

 

[mecevans]

my dad took a look at it. he says get a new shell. the part out i found has 110k miles so ill have to go pick it up . its grey with the same interior. does it matter if i put a N/A motor in a turbo model car? is there allot of paperwork involved? im going to do a complete strip down. everything will be inspected, clean/replaced, and painted except for the motor bc i will be doing a swamp soon. im lucky to have a body shop all to myself:biglaugh:

the hunt continues on the shitty bitch. havent heard from the officer yet but i left a message for him. i may never find her but i learned my lesson. full coverage next time.

thanks for all the support guys. this is just a minor setback.

 

[Zumtizzle]

Time for a Bay area witch hunt.

Ehh, Putting a NA motor in a turbo car is do-able. But why.

I've owned Turbo MK3's since i was 16, and never had any real problems.

 

[Poodles]

Fuck that car looked cherry too...

If the main part of the frame isn't bent, I'd fix it. Getting tired of seeing stripped chassis going to the scrapyard...

 

[IJ.]

Personally I wouldn't repair a car that's hit that hard.

 

[Poodles]

Might not be as bad as it looks, really only tell once the panels are removed.

 

[IJ.]

LOL as bad as that pic shows is FAR worse than I'd bother repairing on a Mk3 sorry

A bigger concern would be the stooges that buy these cars with huge plans get 25% through and part them out once they realise they don't have the skills/smarts/money to actually finsh a car and drive it.

then buy another and repeat....

Soon there won't be any donor cars/shells to do cheap swap/repairs.

 

[Zumtizzle]

But parts everywhere.

 

[Poodles]

I'm sticking with my shell because most of the stuff that needs fixing is bolt on...

That and I really don't want to swap interiors out, and I don't have a place to do such a thing.

I'm sure most people know what my car looks like...

 

[chefma70]

i fucking hate all the people that have no love for the supra they crash it then say hey im too lazy to fix it im just gona save up and buy anoother shell for a couple hundred bucks and trash a perfectly fixable shell.personally not talking to you,at all because the crash wasent your fault.

but to every person in this thread that said get another shell.cant lie ij ur post got me boiling.
