That sucks to see I know the feeling. Hopefully insurance will come through. If not I would do what Kyke said and buy it back and either part it or fix it up. Would be a project but granted theres no frame damage a few body panels/taillights down the road and paint you could be set.

See but I would think if the frame is not bent and the body is fixable why would they pay 7k when they could pay 3 to 4?

I was told with Ohio if it's under 80% of the car cost they'd fix it

And also, with everything I cannot sell the car because I still have a loan out on it. I will not get a penny of the settlement if they total it.

Wow I am surprised its that high, Meaning the 80%. We have "Gap Insurance" here, Its when you total the car and its worth less than what you actually owe on it. The insurance company pays the balance. Not sure if that is something that is offered everywhere, But its worth the money.. I am willing to bet that 90% of loans become upside down with new cars.

Just because the frame isn't bent doesn't mean there is not a ton of work there to be done. Not to mention there is probably a supplement for damage you can't see. I hope you do good on this, Accidents suck especially when you like the car you have.

Both doors - $400
Fender - $65
Headlight -$35
Taillight - $65
Front Bumper Cover (would need painted) - $100
Front Impact bar (if needed) - $40
Rear Bumper Cover (would need painted) - $230
Rear Impact Bar (if needed) - $40

$975 if you need impact bars
$895 if you dont

Then it comes down to how well the body shop can fix that rear quarter panel, painting, and if any of your suspension tweaked.

^ this. I had a 3800 F-body a few years back that got totalled 3 months after I bought it. Needless to say I got stuck with a car payment and no car.

Glad you are ok, hope they come through with fixing it for you. Any word on fighting the ticket or still waiting for a court date?

They paid 4k to fix it. Updating everyone to let you all know it's been at the body shop for a few weeks now being worked on by some great guys. Car has since been put back together and has a layer of primer on it preparing for paint. Also I am fighting the ticket and will be in court to talk to the prosecutor on the 27th about dropping the citation to a no point violation because of my pristine driving record.

We shall start with the 1/4 panel, they cut away the damaged part of the 1/4 and found that the frame underneath was completely fine and had not been bent in more then the tiniest bit.

Image
Image

Next come the doors, not much damage to them besides paint and small dings where the guard rail hit.

Image

And finally the fender, gotta love gm paper thin fenders looked worse than it was. The frame underneath was undamaged besides the dent at the very front.

Image
Image

And finally the part they shipped in to weld in the 1/4.

Glad it is all getting fixed up for you.

Hopefully they throw that ticket out for you or at least reduce it to something petty

That's great! I'm happy one of our cars isn't destined for the scrap pile. Good
luck getting out of the ticket.

Just a thought coming from a body man. I can almost bet you front frame is swung over at least 7-8mm, tolerance is 3mm. That is just judging off your bumper reinforcement. Check the hood striker to make sure its straight. Also DO NOT let them use that used quarter. Your original quarter panel it resistant spot welded and bonded. That Quarter will be MIG welded in all areas meaning rust issues down the road. I personally would only put a used quarter panel on as an assembly with inner and outer wheel house if needed. If you can demand New. Dont get me wrong you do need to MIG weld new quarters in certain spots. Also seperating the panel from the wheel houses its almost guarnted they will damage it meaning body filler in un-wanted places. Not trying to freak you out just thought i would give you a heads up what to expect.

Quarter panel kind scared me. It might mess up big time. I remember 97-03 got damage on quarter panel during rear end from clubgp. Body shop did horrible job at it. Little bit way off like example big gap between body and taillight. Hope they will do better job on this.

Ok, for those of you talking about using a new 1/4 panel it was off an 08 with 2000 miles on it that's new enough for me. And it was verified with the receipts I saw, everything else on the car is brand spankin new authentic gm including the front and rear bumper covers.

I didn't mention things in terms of the unibody but yes we shifted it back in to spec it was off by 5mm. Also, I went in there the first couple days to address what you said about the mig welds and he brought it up first saying that most shops are lazy and just mig weld, he bonded, spot welded where he could and mig welded the panel in (why a lot of this took so long). I even said I would pay more off my deductable to make sure it is done the correct way was just surprised that it's one of the first things he told me about what they're doing with the 1/4 panel. Thank you all for the concerns and such, the car is currently being detailed and buffed as it is all back together. Should be getting it back tomorrow or monday. Already have a new denso 02 sensor and a in line check valve ready to be put in when I get the car back.
