I wiped out in my sc almost the same way .I spun out on a corner at about 55 hitting the curb front wheel first then the rear then juped the curb and took down a turnpike sign. My whole rear quarter panel needed replacing with some other stuff it came up to about 5500.the funny thing altough i wercked out so bad my suspension was still good except for a broken tie rod and a cracked rim .a member here still has the rims and i dont think he ever had any problems with them so im guessing all you will need is new tie rod ends and a new complete alingment

$c300: yeah, thats kind of what Im looking into spending... havent got any quotes/estimates yet since i cant drive it... plus, i work m-f so im going to have to take some time off work... do you have before and after pics?

aznxenon: good stuff man, unfortunately there wasnt any room for me to go, had curbs/walls on both sides and it was pretty narrow... i was thinking that maybe with a lil more room i would had been ok...

sc250tt: man that sucks... how bad does it have to be so they advise you to change the whole quarter panel out? my suspension looks good, i think its only the steering rac the one i need... maybe even a lower control arm... cant tell just yet... the lower front damage is kinna bad too just havent had a chance to take the bumper off to take a good pic... radiator and a/c condenser are pushed in... so far... thats about it....

That car wasn't hit bad at all. The quarter is just sheet metal, the rest is plastic. that's an easy fix.

It doesn't look as bad that I've seen. My buddy's Chaser needs a new front, bumper support, fender linings (inner fenders need full panel beating) and ripped (iirc) 3 LCA's in his accident.
