Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest @#$%@$%#%^$% Weather wrecked Contour

Well I was going home on I-15 on Thurs and at Beck street when I pressed the brake to slow down and the car started to fish tail I managed to NOT hit any cars but before I could count me lucky stars I slamed in to the gard rail smashing the front fender and front, back door, and the rear panel. Well lets just say that the value of the car is $3,600 high book, and the damage comes to $5,200 so they probably will total it, But I still owe $3,800 so I'm in a very bad predicament because the car still runs and I even drove it home, but the damage is ver bad.

Well there is million more datails but I wont bore you guys with them.

No!!!

It SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss so bad man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With you not mentioning anything, I am assuming your mainly hurting in your checkbook.

You going to fix her?

Well, I will not report the claim to insurance and I'm just going to fix it my self, so I will not be able to drive my baby for a long time. I will start the rebuild process tomorrow, I will start taking things off the front end and go from there. I can fix and replace every thing that was damaged except the rear quarter panel but that will be fixed later, but first I need to make it drivable, because the front tire rubs on the crunched fender.

Well wish me luck that the only thing I need to have the body shop repair is the rear end and not anything else. there is some other suspencion damage so that will also need fixin but that was needed from the 90k+ miles that the car has.
I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.

Try interstate for body parts, they are really low cost and pretty good quality for the most part. There's one in West Valley by Sams Club on 33rd S and 9th West.......

man that bites- sorry for u jose- but hey if you need a cheap paint job i know someone who paints well and is really cheap!

That sucks so bad man! I always loved your car! Here's hoping that it's better then ever after it's fixed!

Ditto as what everybody else has said, and I feel your pain. I only wish mine was fixable, I mean no other car compares to this car, even the expensive @$$ european cars. Good luck with fixing it.
