that sux! good thing ur not hurt tho! hope all works out!jidasas wrote:sorry I been gone a while...I kinda wrecked the woo. I tried to dodge some crap on the interstate and lost control and went backwards into a guardrail at about 55 mph...I'm not hurt but the car has over 2,500 dollars in damage so it's most likely totaled. I'll get some pics up later

Ok...I talked to the insurance and even though they totaled it I was able to buy my lanos back for only $300. So, I called my uncle and we beat and banged a bit and pulled out the fender so I can put gas in it...rehung the bumper and now I'm just waiting for a fender/taillight/gas door and It'll be good as new.

I'll get pics asap...what he is going to do is cut the messed up part of the fender out and then tack weld a piece from a good fender in the hole...he's done it before and it looks good and is much easier than removing the entire fender. He said he doesn't want to have to remove all the original welds cause they are still good and all he'll have to weld is the tail light pocket and top of the fender well. I'll go get a pic with my phone now and post what I've fixed so far.
