I agree...it will be all back together soon
see the grill and stuff off made me think it would be a good time to hit Waskillywabbit up for a 3.4, too bad he won't ship:

Then I could get a great deal on a 2.7 to throw in my Trekker from a fellow YT'er

any ball park on when you get it back?

 

I know plenty of people who are 18 that haven't ever been in accidents...

Must be the bad luck!


Hopefully it gets worked out for you soon!

(okay when you get this suckker back i think its time to stay at the speed limit, follow cars by like 3 car lengths, and get a couple 5 hr engergy so you mind doesn't wander....

 

Robb, you crack me up...Im not down for the swap, the 2.7 does great in that little thing..tourqy as hell..
As for how long IIRC now itll be about a week.5 or 2.

Mike, Since the accident I have been slowing down, keeping a greater distance, and trying to keep my road rage down..Only problem is now Im going through more cigs...

Time to go build a welding cart...

 

Ummm, So I just recieved a 1400$ check from my insurance company...


Im really confused but I want to go spend it...

 

Ill sell ya some sas/ifs/3.0 parts for that money...

Why don't you call up your insurance company tomorrow and see what they say?

 

As my dad said, Dont want to wake a sleeping dog.
And that makes sense to me...

 

Okay i would still find out why you recieved that it i were in your shoes..

I would be concerned that they thought the vehicle was totaled and thats all they sent you.
Maybe...........


There is a whole bunch of maybe's assoicated with taht check IMO..
I would like to make damn sure i could cash it before i did so and spent the money.

 

Mike, I put the check in my savings account, I dont plan on touching it for a while...So we will see.

Ummm, ok, So I stoped by the shop, took a look at all the pretty toyota stickers on all the pretty new parts


Heres a few progress pics..

Core.


The apron straightened out..


Hood Repaired.



The tech said it should be in primer tomorrow and I should have it back early next week..

 

They repaired the hood? Those things have crumple zones that are designed to....well, crumple. If you fix the hood, how can it crumple again?

 

Josh, Im pretty sure they just took a BFH to it or something, Note this pic, It just needed a little TLC

 

Most the body shops we deliver to will not take hoods if the crumple zone is affected. You can take a BFH to it all you want, but you cannot properly repair the crumple zone.

Imagine the crumple zone like this: /\ When it gets pushed in, it becomes this: ||

When you pull it back out, the metal is fatigued. Your pic isn't really clear though, its tough to tell if the crumple zone was affected. Typically, they do not repair that far up the hood if it is not needed.

 

Hmm...

 

mmm, ascii porn.

 

Ill most likely have it back friday.

Oh, Please everyone, no joke on this...
While my driving style has changed, please try not to jinx me or any or bs like that.
K? Thanks.

 

Good to hear, just in time for the weekend

 

And just in time to go camping and wheeling next weekend !! :yeah:

 

good times.

 

Well I was supposed to get it back friday the 3rd, but apparently the airbag light came on..So I think ill have it back monday or tuesday...


Butttt...I got some shocks, And im now hoarding parts...
