Feedback on repairs after bad accidents?
There I was, on the way to my first autocross, and this guy in a truck pulls into my lane, forcing me to swerve into the divider at about 70 (or maybe more). I got a friction burn from the airbag and some little scratches on my arm from who knows where. Will go tomorrow for X-rays, although right now everything feels pretty much okay.
The front end of the car is in bad shape, especially the left front where I hit, but also on the other side. The impact apparently twisted the windshield frame enough to crack the glass, the passenger door only opens a few inches, and the right-hand fastener for the top won't engage.
I'm really concerned about what kind of repairs I can expect. I've heard many horror stories of people who have had serious accidents, but not bad enough to rate the car totalled, and have wound up with a car that had severe problems with alignment, etc.
Anybody have any feedback on their experiences with repairs after damage, particularly to the front end?
Well, at least I hadn't gotten around to installing most of the mods I bought, although I did spend a while yesterday replacing the stock brake fluid with Super Blue and also replaced the air filter.
