Get a fat check cut for that and keep it, even if it means having a salvage notice on the title. Looks like frame damage, but nothing too drastic and/or unfixable ... mostly cosmetic. At the least, I see:
1. Driver's side fender
2. Front bumper fascia
3. Front bumper support
4. Radiator support
5. Hood (maybe)
6. New 6-piece headlamp/corner lens set (good time to switch to ultra-clears!
)
7. Foglamps
8. Foglamp mounting bracket
9. Airbag (or airbag delete)
10. Driver's side framerail repair needed
What about the radiator and condensor? Can't see from the pics if they got punctured or otherwise damaged.
As far as the airbag ... bah. Airbags in Foxes suck, anyhow - old first-generation design with a funky steering wheel and tiny horn buttons. Throw an aftermarket steering wheel or an airbag delete piece on there and call it good.
Don't know if your state's rules are the same as mine, but as I've heard it down here, you can require the at-fault party's insurance to repair your vehicle rather than them simply totalling it out and cutting you a lowball-offer check. I wish I'd known about that fact when some old dude destroyed my '87 Formula Firebird a few years ago - lost $600 worth of brand-new tires out of the deal.
If they try to total it, fight it and insist that they repair it - throw a big hissy fit, if necessary. (Sometimes that's what it takes.
)
this threads pissin me off, makes me realise how messed up the world is today..
