Hey guys, the day unfortunately came where I crashed my baby. I've only had her since March, but I took a turn at my normal speed. (Not incredibly fast, but spirited) and it's somewhat loose asphalt, and June gloom sorta set in, and made the ground BARELY moist. Enough for me to oversteer, snap, snap, snap again, and into a ravine, smacking a plastic fence with my rear driver quarter panel.

So I ask, am I screwed? Is the car totaled? If it's not, will welding a new quarter panel on be sketchy/make the car not perform as well as a new one?

 

You'll have to let us know what your repair shop finds out.

Doesn't look good...

Here's hoping.

 

Where do you live?
My before and after:


Door, if you are patient, you should be able to craigslist and find at least the skin in great condition for under $300. Rear quarter is where it'll take a skilled shop to repair. My advice would be to get the entire car sprayed instead of just one section. As long as you stay the factory color, you can (and probably should), bypass the door jams.

If by some chance you are in the SoCal area, PM me, I might have a shop that can help you without fully raping you.

 

PS: The before is on the right side. Left side is the after.

 

Needs a quarter panel and door. car will be totaled and salvage title due to re-welded quarter. i bought my dd s like this and you cant even tell other than loosing your NADR sticker

 

Damn dude that rear quarter is dead... thats a whole cut out. I cant see an insurance company putting faith in that. Im sorry bro

 

I just noticed your whole rocker is desyroyed as well. Its best if its totalled because thats alot of work right there. Best to start over

 

Need to know details on your car before anyone can make a real assumption. Year make and model that way you know the total value of the car. It really isn't that bad considering the s2000 that I have bought that are salvaged. The biggest thing will be the labor on that rear quarter panel as others have said it is welded in. Good luck to you!

 

Ouch.
