[White93z34]

and todays progress, we started pulling the car down to get the doors to line up right again, as well as started to get the roof much better then what it was, its really starting to take shape

Hey, looks better than i thought it would. She'll be lokin better than new in no time 8)

[supreme_style21]

With a ripple like that in the roof, the unibody is smucked. I've got a feeling you're going to have troubles down the road.. even if you are pulling the frame. No pro would pull a bent frame if I had it, it'd hit the yard. I know its hard to let go, so I wish you luck and hopefully all turns out man.

No way I would keep it. Don't think it will ever be 100% again.

I just came across your post, sorry about your baby. This is the 2nd accident I read about in the last few days on this board, but I'm glad to hear that everyone came out in good shape.

[White93z34]

alright another update! yesterday we pulled a 92 grand prix STE up to the garage so i could rape it for its lower radiator support, radiator and AC condisor, as well as radiator fans, and engine cradle, its been a royal bitch getting the lower rad support out since its spot welded in and all then i have to remove the engine cradle so we are just droping everyhting, suspsnsion and all

 

then in the midst of it all i got to wondering how the white STE wheels would look on my car :shock: mabie we shal find out.

 

we are looking at one more night or 2 on the frame machine then i'll we'll weld in the new lower rad support with it on the frame machine and get the cradle installed on the frame machine, not too much longer now 8)

another update, not like anyone cares

 

i'm hopeing to have this car back in action very soon, i now have the new cradle in place and bolted in, i rehung part of my exhaust, then today i replaced my spark plug wires, then sorted out the vaccum system that i managed to smash upon impact. it was a mess, i destroyed the MAF, and a mess of lines, i replaced what i could, and patched the other lines, fired it up, ran just like it alawys has thanks to the new cradle my suspension is where it ought to be, and the engine is aligned in the bay right.

 

we also sanded down the underside of my new hood, bumper, and fender, and laid down 3 coats artic white and 2 coats clear, its an awesome finish. i can't wait to get it all asembled.

[White93z34]

alright after 3 weeks its back on the road, i just drove the ol girl home tonight. rode great and aside of my alignment being way out, it was just like old times i've missed my car alot. i still gotta do some stuff to it but its driveable now.

 

list of things replaced:

header pannel

front bumper assembly

headlights

turnsignal lights

engine cradle

a/c condensor

radiator

lower radiator support

hood

fender

4 tires

few sensors

mess of vaccum lines

steering column

 

probably more that i can't think of either

 

i'll try and get some pictures tommrow or something.

[terryk2003]

thats GREAT NEW ...is it all painted!?...or just back TOGETHER!? ...either way...@ least its back together and you can drive it!!

[White93z34]

no paint yet, it's back together i have work to do before painting it, namely saveing up the money for paint and the new stripes for it, as well as get all my pannels better aligned then its golden, it will probably stay this way till spring, if i don't get mad and spray bomb it till then. tommrow i'm takeing it to get aligned, it needs it BAD. i'm also intrested in seeing how these goodyear RS-As will handle.

Like I said, forget pinstriping. It gives it a cleaner look IMHO.

personally i really like that silver stripe, i'm gona keep it.

however the pinstripes i removed... they aren't comeing back

[99RegalGS]

Glad to hear it's back on the road.

[JoroCorona]

While I'm glad its back on the road, I still sugest getting another Z that hasent been in an accident. Frame damage is nothing but trouble even after being repaired.

[supreme_style21]

You get these parts for free? Seeing as how you work at a yard.

[CPSMonteZ34]

Dayum, I wrote my Monte off last Feb. from considerably a lot less damage. Mind you, I did score big on the out-to-lunch insurance claim, so that played a major reason.

 

I guess I just couldn't see myself going through the pain of tearing into the car, knowing the whole time what it'd been through. I would have made it better than before the accident; however, my patience was already wearing thin on that car after the winter it gave me. I can understand you not wanting to take pictures of it. I still have some of mine, and every so often when I come across them, the only thing that goes through my mind is:

 

"Phuckin' people need to learn how to drive!"

 

...and then I mope for the afternoon.

 

Good choice in fixing her. Insurance gives dick-awl, so you might as well make it how you want it and ride 'er 'til she dies.
