Hi Guys!
First post here. Here's my story of what happened on July 11, 2019
Today, I'm taking my 83 year old mother to the heart Dr for a scheduled appointment. I'm driving on Ky 60 going to Owensboro. I'm following a Grand Am. Grand Am signals a left turn. I move over to go around them when she decides to turn right. I'm doing 55-60 mph. BANG! Launch into the air a bit and land in a muddy ditch. I'm driving my 98 Grand Prix GTP with 41,000 miles on it. Officer says it's my fault for going around on the right. Of course she doesn't mention the fact that she signaled left......which according the the sheriff's deputy doesn't matter. I'm wrong. She's right. She also doesn't have insurance. That apparently doesn't matter either. I don't carry collision on that car. Just comp and everything else. So I have another project. For sure it needs a drivers fender and door along with a left front wheel and tire. The rocker moulding is trash. Haven't been under it yet to see what that looks like. My big concern is where the lower door hinge mounts to the body. This was my nicest, favorite, ultra low mileage car. This car used to belong to my uncle who passed in 2014. I'm guessing by the time I get done fixing and a $220 tow bill, I'm going to be in the 2 grand range. What I can do myself, I will. BTDT on my Roadmaster. Thankfully nobody injured. I understand this could have been much worse. This was my baby...I'm just not having a good day.
Here's a link to the album on google photos. 1998 Grand Prix GTP Wrecked - Google Photos I'm trying to avoid paint work and am trying to find parts in the proper color. I've just started looking for parts. The rocker panel bracket that holds the ground effect moulding across the bottom seems to be a little difficult to find. A parts car of the right color would be great! Any and all advice welcome!
