Ouch. Sorry to see that! I hope that person who hit you forks over some settlement money.

Man that blows. Fiber glass is still pretty easy to fix, almost anyone could do it, but then again, I have chunks missing from mine when some one tried to do it themselves.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'm sorry to see that. I don't understand people who don't pay attention like that. I put my cougar on a curb and busted a rim because of someone not paying attention to their driving.

I hate to use the old line, but it could have been much worse than it was.

ouch

Yeah I've been there before.....It sucks that these 87-88's weren't exactly built for their durability in the front end....i went through 2 header panels and 1 fender on my 88 cat.

Eh the sheet metal on these cars is still thicker than the stuff now. I can lay on the hood of my Bird and it won't even buckle. Try that with a new car......
