I got into my first wreck 3 weeks ago. Haven't posted in a while but i'll try to get pics up. his accident wasn't as bad as mine. It was raining pretty bad. I came to a stop before trying to cross st. (rt. 62 for those of you in MA) and i looked both ways and proceeded. A black kia slammed into my rear right quarter panel. Completely pushed in my gas tank and everything. I had it appraised by a mechanic and said it would be 1000 for a whole different used set of suspension and axel. Also, i'd need time on the frame stretcher, and a whole new strut.

The next day, i took my wheel off and looked around. The trailing arm was bent 90°. So, i took it off and replaced it w/ one from a scrap yard (20$). I need a new strut as it may happen and it will cost 120ish$ for that. I'll go take those pics.
