Great idea. He did not mention insurance, so I didn't. He probably wouldn't be devastated if he was getting a payout on a 98' with a buyback option..... that's the jackpot!

Sorry abour your accident, and yes this is a fairly simple fix in most cases. Check out aliga, and or RGW LLC. As them if they have the parts you need. I'd first see what your insurance and body shop guys says...SG is right the damage seems high? So you'll have a better shot getting this fixed? GL, and keep us posted.

Sorry to see that, but it's nothing to what the concrete filled 6" steel post did to mine & I didn't even flinch about fixing it. Just took me a bit of time to get all the parts as I live in a SC dead zone & had to order parts from all over the country. In the mean time I just pulled her back out to make the Pa cops happy & just kept on trucking. BTW I'm an experienced body man so doing it all by myself.
