Thread: My car

Not sure if you guys have seen this side of my grand prix before.. I got the car for 1000 bucks because of the damage. Engine is brand new though.. only 20k on it when i bought the car! It looks so good from one side.. but from the other.. eh.. how much do u guys think this would cost to fix..


Then 2 months after i got the car some a** hole decided to rear end me. I'm getting the new bumper this week



The good side:

does your insurance know? if not claim your car got hit while in the store

are you talking about the side damage? its the original owners wife's fault. she drove it in the snow, lost control and hit a wall. I dont think he told the insurance company. the car sat for three years in his garage. then i bought it lol. But to get it fixed it will prob cost me 2,000 bucks. Do you actually think my insurance company would believe that if i told them..?

rest of the car looks great besides that. i'm gonna guess more than 2k to fix.

It's a WBody...make it fast and leave the side how it is.

Done.

lol its funny cauz sometimes when ill be at a red light people just stare at the side of my car, pointing at it. the damage isnt so noticeable now. That picture is before i bought it. He painted the damage red and took the hanging black piece off so it dosent look as bad lol. Oh yea, the DIC says my drivers side door is open even when i shut it.. is there a way to disable that sensor?

insurance fruad...nice

buy a cheap gp without damage, swap motor and tranny.

Thats what i was thinking.. but besides the damage on this car its in great condition it was garage kept, there is BARELY any rust. the guy really took care of this car. And i dont know if it would be cheaper to fix the damage, or to buy a whole other car and swap the motor.. because if i get another gp i want it to be in good condition

swap everything, interior...all of it

then scrap it

haha this is definetly a project that i will take on once i have enough cash and time for

I honestly wouldn't SCRAP it...as long as you've got a place for it...you don't know when you might need something on your new-er car that the donor car had that worked.

Yes happens every day.

I told my insurance someone backed into my car while parked so i could get the Hood & Front Bumper Repainted

Bumper had alot of scratchs on it 1 huge one.

and the Hood my friend damaged the Driver side corner of.

800$ to fix damage i just had to pay a small deductible.

I wish my exhaust tips were that clean lol
That's about how my camaro is..passenger side is perfect but the driverside is fubar lol

I'd fix it...guess how this car used to look.


About like this...


And this


And like this between

Consider this before attempted to fool your insurance:
Them damage, from what I can tell, appears to be rusted, which would make a rough statement about how old the damage is. Just saying.

yea haha well his wife crashed it in 2007 and he kept it in the garage for three years.. i know he welded some holes in it and tried to bang some of it out but just made it worse. I'm gonna get it fixed eventually. I love this car and ive already started saving up for it. I got a quote on it from a very good body shop and he said about 2000. But think about iit.. i paid 1000 for the car, so after getting the damage fixed thats about 3000. The rest of the body is in great condition and the interior is really really nice. oh AND it has a motor in it that only has about 30k on it so

Yeah I seen that all, so really, it shouldn't be too bad to just pay for it yourself.

just get a shell car and swap like stated above.
