So I ended up at a really unlit area of Fort Lauderdale, and when I tried to make a U-turn to get out of there, I hit a huge curb that they had just built, with no markings, reflectors, nothing.
For reasons beyond my control, my insurance is not gonna cover it. So I'm stuck fixing it myself.

It is not the worst, even though the body shop I took it wants SEVEN Gs to fix it (crazy rip-off)

A lot of it is cosmetic, I will have to get a new right fender and hood. The front is scuffed, but I just have to get it refinished.
The worst it that there was some minor frame damage. But it's not much and can def. get fixed with a Unibody Pull machine.

So I need some help from you guys. Let me know if this is a good plan of action

Install a new radiator support, remount the crash bar, install the fender. Get it to a Unibody Pull machine. I know it's hard to guess, but would $700 on the machine be enough??

After the frame is back to normal, check radiator, radiator fan & motor, recovery tank, air cond condenser assembly.

Reinstall Headlights (if they don't work, finally have a real excuse to get projectors). Install new JWT filter.

Get front, fender, hood refinished/painted.

Done.

Do you guys spot from the pictures other things that might be destroyed?
The body shop guy said it's gonna be 20 HOURS for the unibody pull and 5 for pull for sway. Is that a ridiculous number or can that actually make sense?
He also said it would take 8.5 hours to remove/replace Left body closing plate.

pics....( I know, it's very sad. But I love the G /G35driver.com community so I'm not willing to just quit on it and move on)

The reinforcement bar is intact, it just got moved to the right a bunch since the support broke.

any advice/suggestions are welcome (expect "give up, move on, get a new car") Also any suggestions of places where I might be able to get some of these parts used in Florida

thanks!

 

I just sucked my teeth in pain from seeing the last pic. Frame is def out of whack. LMK if you need anything bro. I still owe you. Call up my bodyshop guy. He has a frame machine.

 

After the first time your car gets hit, everything goes down to hill from there. Sorry to hear about the accident it looks like the frame damage and then some.

 

You may have a case with the city now that I think about it. See what you can do

 

thanks guys, it really looks worse than it actually is, only the front got bent since the diagonal hit shifted all the movable parts to the side and all the permanent parts that were attached to it went with it.

keep coming in with advices of what to actually do... right now i'm thinking get the frame done, and change whatever parts needed myself.... then get the fender front hood refinished...im just trying to figure out how many hours of framing machine are actually needed w.o getting ripped off by the body shop guy...

 

ouch, take pics at night asap maybe you can build a case, how come your insurance is not covering it?

 

wow pics of the curb and +1 y wont insurance over it?

 

Step 1 you need to take all the broken stuff off the car, and have the frame pulled so it is with in spec. Then you can start the mechanical / body repairs.

 

Damn... that really sucks mayne.... Hope u get it all squared away, id look into legal actions you can take....


btw you might wanna take care of that tire on da front... i think i see metal wiring lol... that aint from the crash!

 

I just curbed my right rear wheel tonight. I'm feeling your pain :/

 

Yep the tire is due.... I was waiting for it to be gone so I could get some Volk GTS... I guess that's not happening any time soon...

I don't really wanna build a case, I really just want to get this fixed and move on. I just wanna make sure I'm focused on work and not spending time arguing with the city... I'd rather swallow my pride and make sure I keep my job... which is the only way I'll make the money to fix the G

 

Oh man, so sad to see this. But glad you weren't hurt. Check craigslist for parts, I've seen fenders and other parts on there. Good luck with the repairs.

 

That sucks ***** bro. Sorry to hear about your car but glad you are good to go. If everything is like you said, I would def. hold the city partly responsible for not making the new changes known.

 

You may need to get yourself an attorney to represent you against the city and the insurance. Good Luck with whatever route you decide to take.
