del sol - progression until a sad day today

[JayL]

my 1993 del sol s... stock, with a drop..



then, out with the old d15b7 automatic



in with the b18b1 LS manual conversion



then paint Lexus IS250 Smokey Granite Micah



my car as of a couple months ago, with new springs, HID's, new tires





and as of today.. got rear ended and pushed into the back of a truck

[Homer Simpson]

WHATT?!

[osnap]

ouch, man. ive been there, youll bounce back!

[Halfwit]

[SiR EG2]

damn these things a becoming extinct

[JDMFLIP]

that sucks bro

[b17a1db2]

sucks especially after new paint.

[Mr Egg Rollllll]

I feel your pain...Another Sol down...

Are you going to repair it or what?

[JayL]

it drives fine, just looks like shi7...

-bent the rear bumper support under, along with the rear valance and part of the trunk lid is rippled
-the fender is done, hood is done, door is creased, front bumper is cracked and skuffed, and core support is bent to hell and back on passenger side
-the passenger side front end, where the fender meets the engine compartment is crushed in...(i guess its considered the frame too??)


the accident was not my fault, i carry liability insurance and it will be on the other person's insurance. i should hear from them in the next few days.

[BTEC]

the front of my hatch was worse when i scooped up a jeep cherokee. had to replace my core suppport, bumper, fender, cf hood, and headlight (3rd set). as long as ur frame rail isnt bent ur good. insurance tried to total mine out. 2200 my ass!!

[JayL]

oh yeah?? i am just glad that im not hurt.. smashed into a truck from a car behind me going like 30 mph.. it gave me a headache and knocked the breathe out of me, it bent my driver seat and broke one of the steering column bolts off

damn!! well i just hit the jeep. my thumb was fukt up for about month from the steering wheel slamming between my thumb and pointer finger. bout it for my physical injuries. if i had an airbag i wouldve been dead bc i was trying to pull my clutch pedal back up, switched lanes on accident and POW.

[Mr. Clean]

hey i def. feel your pain lol... it was that damn bumper man. bad luck follows wrecked cars i guess. so everything you part out just be careful lol... but hey i turned

this:



into this:



just takes patience.

oh and if yours goes anything like mine, expect to get the run around for about a month. unless they have a good insurance company they will be in no hurry to give you money. so just be patient.

[Random Hero]

Beat.

[JayL]

justin.. damn your rear bumper.. lol, just kidding.. im not going to say it was your bumper that cause the wreck.

im expecting 4k and keeping the car.. i will hold on as long as i can with their insurance

[Mr. Clean]

justin.. damn your rear bumper.. lol, just kidding.. im not going to say it was your bumper that cause the wreck.

im expecting 4k and keeping the car.. i will hold on as long as i can with their insurance

well like i said. i got like $3868 or something like that and kept the car. and i was able to show receipts for wheel paint, full body paint, rebuilt tranny, and tons of other stuff from ebay and best buy and still only got that $3800 figure. so they may hook you up but you may have to argue with em.

[stillaneon]

Damn it. Why didnt you call me?

[08turb@x]

damn that sucks man good to hear your ok

[1SOL2NV]

he will have to argue .... his is a 93 .... i had to argue with my del sol wreck ... i got 4k for my red one and i got to keep my car and have a chance to legally rebuild mine ... which is what im doing . i sorry to hear about this .. but i call DIBS on fenders and bumper .... lol

[eg mike]

Hope it turns out in your favor

[amandDA]

dam sorry dude g/l with the next.....

[JayL]

its all good, i have receipts to show 6k + in parts, and paint and body on this car, that doesn't include the 2k i paid for the car....

so all is good, i will get what i want.

thanks for all the kind words.. lots of time went into making this car what i wanted!

and when i part out, its gonna be a del sol/b-series fest up in here!

[1SOL2NV]

Hid's , front bumper , driver fender <--- dibs .. make it happen . lol hit me up when the insurance settles .. u have my number ! oh .. and GOOD LUCK on the next Ride

[SPOOLIN]

reminds me a lot of my old del sol and a similar story about how it came to an end(after i sold it) lol

[MrBoostedCRX]

if all goes bad, hope it doesnt, and u decide to part out, PM me!!!

[DVSRX-7]

man that sucks.. fix it and keep the sol bro

[EJ_Allmota]

damn that sucks bigtime.. i was feelin the blue more that that gunmetal lookin color though...

[JayL]

it was one of those things where i wanted a color that was not as common, and def. not a stock honda color... thinking about it now.. i probably should have just repainted it the same captiva blue, it would have been SSOOOO much easier.

[FasTech]

Sucks man. My buddy just totalled his Sol about 3 weeks ago. I posted pictures the day it happened. Flipped 7 times. If its repairable, I say get it back up and going. Looked good too. Well goodluck with it man.

[coreyctr1980]

who does the other person have insurance with? Depending upon who they have, they are going to lowball the shit outta you. I work for an insurance company so if you need any help, pm me, ill be glad to do anything i can.

[JayL]

update: settled with the insurance company today for $4260.00 and im keeping the car with a salvage title.


look for a part out thread soon!!
