Oh yeah, well your face! Me 1 you 0!
Got my rental today. Grand Prix GP. It will grab rolling rubber.
But yeah, stopped out to get the important things I left in the car (3 packs of smokes), and went to open the driver side door, and couldn't. It was binding with the fender. Wasn't doing that when I steered it on the wrecker.... Hmmm....
But yeah, most of the damage seems to be in the control arm. I got a good look under there and its twisted in two spots. One spot in the center, and the 2nd spot at the ball joint. Looks like that's most of the damage, and possibly the wheel bearing is shot.
I am going to call back tomorrow I guess, and tell them to keep the control arm. I want that focker! Its a work of art! Maybe I'll take it to Scion and be like.... These suck. Build them stronger.
Also gonna see if I can get them to replace the bushings in both control arms for me, since I have them, as well as put brakes on it since it'll be up in the air anyways.
Alright. Another update on the RE-REconstruction. lol
My quote was done, and they only quoted for replacing a "reconditioned steel wheel" not a new DR20. (but the guy doing it said that's b/s. Let me try and get you a new DR20 instead).
I am trying to get them to work with my insurance company in order to not pay a high deductible, skip out on the body work. Which means i'll need to replace the front lip (since the wrecker was so kind to crack it). And to just re-align and pull the fender back into shape so that the door opens again. That alone should save at least $500.
They also have on here, Radiator support. I am not sure how I could of possibly bent that support, begin as all the impact was absorbed by the wheel, and control arm. lol.
Here's a good WTF? "replace RT Under Cover Manual Tranny." I have an auto... But according to the run down on my VIN its a Manual? WTF? It list a base no option Scion.... Not what mine is. Mine has everything but leather, sunroof and a 6disc as options. Somethings odd there.
Grand total: $2333.80 Most of which is labor and body work. So if I don't get this loan, I don't know what I am going to do. Maybe ask for a credit increase of 1K and just put it on a credit card? UGGG! This car is cursed!
