One of my buddy was recently in an accident and this is what happened to his Z. The insurance is going to fix it.

 

OMG that sucks.... Talk about rattles.

These days, insurance companies are willing to fix more since it takes more man power and hours at the insurance company to total a car than to send a check to the bodyshop to fix it.

 

damn.... it might pull to the left alittle

 

That will probably just buff out.

 

hope his insurance gives him a lifetime warranty on the work.

 

Get it fixed on the insurance companies dime then have him sell it. Not worth the potential problems in the future.

 

Get rid of it as soon as possible

 

mothers quick wax should do the trick.

 

wtf is with all these lame sarcastic replies on this thread and like every other friggin thread in this forum? ppl need to calm down...its only funny once if even...

 

their not the only ones who need to calm down

 

that looks fixable if you realign the chassis. remove fender,hood, bumper, front left pillar, windows, door and rework from the inside out. I've seen worse and they can fix it. I think for this one they might try and source a wrecked 350 with an undamaged part. Cut off needed parts and weld it back on. Thats what a lot of people used to do in the old days. Front end damage cars would get a half chop of similar car and then weld it together. Its not 100% safe but you cant tell and you just sell it to the dealership.

 

get air in ur tire asap

 

Ouch !!! Thats Smarts .......but a little BONDO should do the trick !

I would sell it after the Insurance fixes it and get another one.

 

Scratch-x FTW. It'll be good as new.


Sorry to hear...

 

Insurance fixed my 2005 for me. I only had 8400 miles on it. Its not quite the same feel as new but part of me wonders if its in my head. They would only replace 2 tires (1 front and 1 back on oppoist sides) and that has some impact in road noise but since I dont drive it much and only for fun its not really a bother. I could alsoways fix it by buying 4 tires i guess. Total cost which included a new OEM suspension (they said I needed it) was about
$17K.

 

That sux.

The really sad thing is potentially it can mean lives.

 

VERY TRUE, my friends repairs will run 12k

 

it never does run the same no matter what they say.

personally, i'd get rid of it

 

I crashed my boosted Z and repaired it for 15k.

Drives like new now . . . . . . scary how good the work was.
