Crashed my S last Thursday...Wet road, too much acceleration....lost the back end...SOOOO STUPID....I know better, especially after spending time on this board...

Anyway, my frame is slightly damaged. I hit a guard rail with the back end- trunk lid, bumper, tail lights.....The body shop said they need to "pull the frame." Anybody have any experience with this type of repair? Anything I should look out for?

Thanks in advance

 

I had my frame repaired from getting t-boned and I think it drives better then before.

whenever i need an auto encyclopedia, i'll go to red mx5

 

RED MX5 goes to Billman250, XViper, and a few others.
I am NOT the untimate authority, by any stretch of the imagination.

 

wait......i thought if you get aFrame damage, the car is considered Totalled by the insurance company right? If that was the case i would get another car.

 

No, a car is considered totaled when the repair costs from the accident exceeds ~70% of the car's current value at the time of the accident.

 

make sure the top doesnt leak when done.

Any kind of leaks, anywhere, even extra wind noise, is a sign that the job was not done properly. The car should be as tight as it was when new.
