My Project Car Made It On The NEWS!!!!

[07vert]

As the title says, yes, my recent project made it on the news! How cool!!!!.....WELL, it would've been cool.............any OTHER day.

It was on yesterday's 6pm, 11pm and this mornings 6am news on WTNH 8...car is still on their website under storm damage.

up close:

This was my project, many of you on here were trying to help me figure out which way I should go with the motor, transmission, suspension, etc etc...Well now, no more. We had a horrible windstorm/rain storm in the northeast yesterday and a neighbors tree fell from his property onto mine. The tree fell on our fence and then on my car. :bash::bash::bash:

I got the coupe for so cheap, where the HELL am I going to get another one in this shape for the same price? I'm absolutely devastated.

This is what she used to look like:

Just thought i'd share my carnage with the world. I loved this car.

it looks a lot better in that picture then it actually is...i'll see if i can get better pictures when I'm out of work, I have some, just haven't uploaded them yet...car was a 4cyl conversion so chances are damages are A LOT more then its worth

doubt it. Cut the roof and replace. Not too hard :shrug:

 

[CobraLucci]

fixable, come on we know u want to!

 

[07vert]

the car sags in the middle, whole new frame and cutting the roof of a car that cost so little in the first place? not to mention the salvage title with hours and hours of work by a body shop? i mean shit, im as good of a welder as the next engineer but it doesn't even seem worth it, i could probably get another one in better shape for cheaper then it would cost me to fix this one

Wouldn't your neighbor have to pay though? His tree :shrug:

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

thats awfull....very sorry. Hope you had the good insurance on it for an agreed value

 

[07vert]

Wouldn't your neighbor have to pay though? His tree :shrug:

yeah, and it was dead/neglected...i have to deal with his insurance company...they're coming to asses the car/fence damage today

Good luck man, it sucks to see a nice coupe get hurt like that.

 

[SSMOKE-U]

It'll buff out

 

[VirtualSVT]

that sucks

 

[floyd4ford]

Sad!

 

[DSGWhippedSnake]

bummer man. the weather was pretty wicked here yesterday

 

[thomas91169]

Looks like its setup for straight line anyways, so if it drives straight, **** it, bang it out, take salvage title, get $$$ from his insurance and make it faster.

 

[Steve@TF]

something like that happened to my buddy's nice 57 chevy a couple of years ago. luckily the damage wasnt that bad.

good luck with the insurance and repairs. its a good looking car :beer:

 

[Root1022]

You could make it a redneck convertible!

 

[BLWN DSG]

possible duct tape fix????

Sorry to hear about the damage, sucks you have to deal with your neighbors insurance.
