so if anyone cares I wrecked my coupe like 6 months ago or so. I got tboned on a local hwy. speed limit is 50 and Im sure she was doing it. I got the impact rght in the drivers door no skid marks on the pavment
At the time im like damn, I just spent all weekend putting a sei interior in it. a 5 speed swap, sei rear conversion the works. I thought that was the worst of it.
So today Im swapping the interior into yet another coupe and Im thinking wow. I might have been luckier than I thought. Overall the car at its narrowest piont in 14 iches closer than stock. I had a really hard time getting the seats out, the driver door panel is just junked and some other pieces at that.
So i pull the rear seat and the weld that joinst the fender to the unibody is sompletely ripped about 12 inches or so. Folded in just mangled, The top of the cab has like a 3 inch crease in it and the door is literally just being held OUT byt the latch mechanism. I think if it would have been nay different I wouldnt be at least walking right now. I didnt even go see a doctor or anything come to think.
Well I thought i should share. Feeling a little hopeful here and Ill try to get pics if someone wants to hst. Ill try to figure out how to make them smaller if I can. Ive got a 5 meg camera and thats about how much I know with it. Mike
