Re: Now with Wrecked quarter panel mod! One of the silver karrs... For now
Thats sucks but looks to be an easy fix as the damage didn't get into the door or bumper, start searching the local yards for a new fender that matches your paint color. Unbolt the damaged one and replace with a good one.

Sucks about getting hit, hope you find a silver fender at the JY for cheap.

well it appears it is more than just the fender, the hood has been shifted, the running board is bent (both medal underneath and plastic on top) door now catches it, one of the brackets for the hood looks bent, and at least the splash guard underneath is damaged, maybe more than that, that i cant see yet.

my insurance said it should be covered, by hers and her insurance made it sound like they would cover it, im waiting to hear from their claims now
and then i get to deal with estimates for damage and eventually get a check, but then the question of what should i do? comes to mind...
fix this one and keep its problems... or get a new shell and put this motor in it.. decisions, decisions.

With all that you said damaged. Just get it professionally done. You won't pay anything if covered

Right thats one option
im considering buying a new shell tho cause this car has its fair share of problems away from the accident, it has rust, clear coat problems, shocks going out, interiors getting worn, plus with the Z i have no reason for another 2 door "sports car". id like a nice 4 door GP or maybe even a bonne, too pull this engine and trans and drop them into a good conditioned car

I'm pretty sure it's the same trans.
And use the insurance money for swap!
