Inner Fenderwell damage, what you see pushed back here is about 6 inches back from where it should be, this is where the pass footcompartment was bashed back into the car on the inside.

My tire...I think the bead may have broke on the pass front wheel causing my slide...

Lanky,

Do you want a bodyman's .02? Too bad, you're getting it anyway...If the car isn't rusty then I say fix it. Yes, it will need pulled b/c of the front however, it looks like the footwell damage was caused by the tire being pushed into it. I see that all the time at work, a car takes a hit in the wheel, the wheel comes off, and goes into the footwell. It can typically be beat back down from the inside fairly easily, and welded back together if necessary. Apply corrosion protection, paint, etc and it's just fine. The front damage doesn't look bad to me. It folded just like I would expect it to from a collision to the front.

Whatever you do, good luck. I'm really sorry to see this happen. The car was beautiful, and I was envious! If I weren't so far away I'd be willing to pull the car and repair the floor for you. That would just leave you with the cosmetic, bolt on parts to deal with. Sorry man.

I'm not gonna lie, and don't get me wrong, but what you were doing when you cracked up the car looks like it was very very fun (something my friend and myself in his corolla would love to do on a road like that :D ). Great to hear you guys aren't hurt, it's just a car (but judging by the responses, it was so much more... *gloomy music*). Good luck man.
