dr_bowtie Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 if the frame is bent let it go.... If you start drag racing the car it becomes unsafe if the frame isn't 100% straight and you start putting power to it... bad things can happen... Or pull the frame and get a tube chassis......................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I got my license about a week and a few days ago. Holy . I feel like I am already a better driver than 95% of the people around where I live. People run stop signs without looking, don't turn on their turn signal. Seriously, how do these morons get their license. When I had a permit I had a stupid old lady in a fcking Prius do a right turn on Red when I was already accelerating and I had a green light. Another person honked their horn at my brother at a red light, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN RIGHT ON A RED LIGHT. Seriously, ridiculous how awful people drive here.

Onion Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks for your wishes everyone. As predicted, the frame is kind of bad... Here are some new pics. Also there are a lot of scratches, and things have shifted. Gaps on one side of the car aren't the same size on the other side, etc. Here are some more pictures.

MJCRO Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) If the frame isn't bent but they put it up as a total loss, I'm gonna buy it back and rebuild it as a pure track car and get a beater as a daily driver. Maybe a 4.0 Jeep, reliable as hell! Used to have one of those, my dad put 180k on the clock before selling it. Yeah, motor and tranny problems from the sound of it. 20 mph is a pretty strong jolt though, I didn't expect it to be fine. Word up! *BTW judging by those pics, maybe it wouldn't be the best idea to buy it back lol. Edited August 28, 2012 by MJCRO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Looks like the rocker box is toast. That should be fixable. The Mustang is a unibody car as such it has front and rear sub frames not a full perimeter frame. The body is the connection between the sub frames.

The amount it'll cost to fix it is more than the cost of a new one, so they're probably gonna scrap it. I'll buy it back, and then buy a stock one and transfer all my mods. Once that's done, I'll part out the rest for cheap, cut my losses, and sell whats left as scrap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Do you really want to go through the hassle of buying it if they're gonna total it? Your mods aren't worth *that* much and they'll generally let you rip out aftermarket parts if you ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mods aren't worth *that* much and they'll generally let you rip out aftermarket parts if you ask. If they let me rip out aftermarket parts, then I will, but yeah, the car's got some money in it that I can take back. Short throw shifter, $200. Shift handle, $35 Long tube headers, $??? Off-road X-pipe, $??? Flowmaster Super 40, $400 BBK CAI, $60 78mm throttle body and plenum, $40? Hood, $450 Bumper, $350 New Nitto 555s in the rear, $550 Bullitt wheels, $700? Head unit, $140 That's nearly $3500 assuming the headers and x-pipe are ~$500. Probably some other stuff, too. Point is, it adds up. Edit: Oh, also got Steeda springs, that should be another couple hundred. Also got a new Maximum Motorsports steering shaft, which I paid $300 for. $4000 just in parts right there. Also have a brand new serpentine belt, $35, brand new AC put in, $250, and a brand new Motorcraft battery, $140. Got 3.73 gears on it but that's not worth the hassle. But yeah, if they let me rip parts off it, hell yeah! I'll let them keep the car and take most things.

RimX Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) idk...that big parts list, i doubt they would let you take that much, without buying it back. That is most of what they would auction the car off for. If it was just the headers, and a few other small stuff maybe, but not with the wheels, hood, and what not. Just my opinion though. Doesn't hurt to ask them, worst they say is no. Edited August 28, 2012 by RimX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they say no, I'll just buy the car back and salvage what I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
