Hate

[turbohunter]

I hate .......... you know.
Some s.o.b. Ran a red light then took off.
Just hope the frames not to bad.

[thatdarncat]

Oh no, I feel for you. I love that wagon. Hope you’re ok?

[Heo]

 

[jayb]

That sucks.  Badly.  Damage to the criminal's vehicle?  Maybe he can be identified by that?

Hope you can find the parts to get that wagon fixed, that thing is super cool and riding around in it was a highlight of my visit...

[turbohunter]

I’m fine thanks.
Cops are checking the cameras in the area. A witness gave a good description.
The only parts that I think will be problem is the “wood” surround molding on the side.
I’ll get ‘er stripped down this weekend.

[BattlestarGalactic]

Ugh, sorry to see this.  I hope they catch the moron.

[BruceS]

Sorry to see that Marc!  You WILL get it fixed, and glad you're ok. 

[turbohunter]

No doubt about it Bruce. I’ll get ‘er fixed. Thanks.

[Falcon67]

Kill them, kill them all.  Sorry and glad you are OK, could have been worse. 

[428 GALAXIE]

Like your wagon as anyone else here so sorry for that.
Get her fixed.

[turbohunter]

Thanks guys.
Just wish I wasn’t working today.
Laid awake 1/2 the night thinking about what I’m gonna do. It’ll be better than it’s old self, that’s for sure.

Hey Marc, hate to see that, glad you're OK.  From the look of the hood sitting pretty on the passenger side I'd guess a bit of push-off by the frame but nothing major beyond the obvious cosmetic destruction. People are swell.

[Heo]

I guess the other car is pretty beat up i got hit like that in the
Fairlane. Got about the same damage, the Volvo 240 that hit me was scrap
opened up the whole side of it like on the Titanic, frontwheel was tucked up against the firewall
the blocked front tire pulled him in the ditch where he rolled it two times

I dont think the frame is much damaged probably just bent the leg in front of
crossmember some. New radiator suport ,fender and lights and you are good to go
I have a radiator support i could have given you for free, a pitty the shipping would
kill that. Those "wood" moldings are they fiberglass if i remember correctly?
Someone reproducing those? Im glad i only get hit by plastic moped cars now
Just take some rubbing to rub away plastic contamination from my car

[turbohunter]

Yeah Heo, they are fiberglass. If it got down to it I’ll bet I could rebuild the bridge between the pieces but we’ll see how the parts search goes. I did a quick search on eBay and found a complete opposite side set for a grand or so but that’s lots of stuff I don’t need. Gonna keep my eyes peeled for a parts car also.
The offending car was a 200X ish Mercedes so I’ll bet it’s pretty tore up.

[Heo]

Why is it like that, You always find the oposite side to what you need
or one year earlier or later
