wow man i would cry if i came out to my car in that state. Some *** bumped into my front bumper with his dirty trailor hitch and let an imprint....i almost cried just at the the sight of that alone. I live on a busy street and i recently had my entire driveway rebuilt so that it extends as far up to my house as possible and made it 20 feet wide so there is need for parking on the street anymore.

 

wtf, you must be kidding me! you just got that thing! check the FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME FRAME!!!

Oh YEAH, did I mention: check the FRAME?!!!!

keep us posted man.

 

Once you put it on a frame machine and get clamp marks, it is branded as car with frame damage whether or not there is a problem with the frame. And the resulting resale value will be much worse than a car with body or paint work. Unless you want to own the car forever, I would hope for a total loss from the insurance company. For a new car, it's not likely, but one can always hope. Good luck.

 

It's a lease guys...

 

Cool

 

Adjuster came, $13K.

Did I mention I'm fixing this myself? I already stripped the entire front down, only thing that's left is the radiator support, but I gotta wait till I have a solid spot in the shop to put my car so I don't have to move it back and forth.

Frame rails are bent about 1-2", sub-frame is slightly bent too needs to be replaced.

I'll post pics in a bit.

 

Damn bro sorry to see your G like this, when you first sent me the pic to my phone I was like is not that BAD but now that I see more angles of the car that's a lot of damage. Hope you get her back on the road soon. Now leave her alone and send me my headlight lol I need it PRONTO.

 

This may be a silly question, but why fix it yourself? Why not have insurance do it?

 

Holy crap...

Man it hurts to look at a G in such shape, GL with the fix

 

Insurance is paying for it, I'm fixing most of the stuff myself except the welding and straightening the frame rails out...and painting.

After adjuster left, I stripped everything off... the frame rails are about 2" caved in, doesn't affect the structure of the vehicle, or the drive... just the installation of the radiator and bumper support. I won't be installing most of the parts back since after all it's a loaner, and it's just less crap to worry about.

Sub-frame rails are bent/cracked, they will need to be replaced, good thing they're just bolt on.

Tomorrow I'm going to test a G37 coupe fender and headlight on my car, just to see if it fits... not that I would do that conversion simply because I like the new sedan front end a lot more.

Gunna start ordering the parts next week. Along with some wheels and a few other goodies.

 

damn you doing this whos doing ironmans lol

 

Since you have the hood bumper fenders lights out. Is there a way you can check the fitment with the 07-09 is compatible with just a bumper and light swap? Or if fenders are needed as well. Sorry about the accident as well bro looks like you got your hands full.

 

ouch... on the brand new ride too!!! I know you've gotta be steaming mad
