Heard some good news today. The frame and suspension components are all good to go. Nothing is bent and all the damage is cosmetic so to speak.

I hope insurance works out in my favor and just totals it out.

A girl knows more about body work than all of the men in here - this is great!

I did it on my old SC300..the damage was about the same as yours. ;p




Bodyshops tend to rip people off because they tend to charge top $$ when dealing with ins. companies. Find a private party if its not sumthing u wanna do.

Id help if I were there

Good luck!!
Where are you located? I have damage very similar but a little worse. I'm definitely getting it fixed

another one gone too soon. bummer. the front quarter panel would have been an easy fix. the back one tho would have been a lot of work. sucks man.
