Took a rough hit.
Yes, that's the timing gears and chain out in the open.
Dunno if it's a total loss or not yet.

As jacked up as that car was before it got hit, I'd be hoping for a total loss if I were you.

I am leaning towards hoping for it, too. However the adjuster did not claim it a total loss upon sight of it and had it moved to a facility that can tear it down to better estimate the damage. Apparently keeping it OCD-clean and dent/scratch free combined with low mileage for the year is going to hurt me here. I am going back out tomorrow to take a closer look at it.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post

Yes, almost paid off. Usually this kind of thing happens just after it's paid off, not right before, lol. I am fine, have a seat belt burn on my left collarbone and my back is a little sore, but that's it.Originally posted by gabegt90 View PostComment

For some reason the driver's airbag blew, and it blew late, too. First crunch, then me saying a four-letter word, then pop it blew. No reason for it to blow, as I was hit directly on the right side at a 90* angle. Good news is I had my hands at 10 and 2 and my hands/wrists/arms were unhurt. This car did not come with the optional side impact and curtain airbags. They came standard the next model year.Originally posted by 79lincolnlover View PostComment

That'll buff out. Good thing you're unhurt. Although, you could've just fallen out of the door and started "screaming" in pain.
And if you had "lost control" of your bladder, that could've been a couple hundred dollars more for humiliation.

LOL, it took a couple people to get my door open. I should have just climbed out the passenger side. I guess I could have just sat there screaming? I had to get to work, so showing up with soiled pants would have been miserable.Originally posted by MrMarquis View PostThat'll buff out. Good thing you're unhurt.

With the hood as-it-is, you can now install that roots blower.
I'm glad you're alright. Perhaps get your P72 back?

I am working on talking a friend of mine into erecting some semi-permanent structures in order to do so. Seems he needs to get a new micro-minivan into his main garage first.Originally posted by 1987cp View Post
On other news, dropped by the body shop today, and with the head and block being fractured, along with the other damages, it's a total loss.
