Re: DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
[quote=djpatrick35]VICTORY!!! 2212 will rise again!!! The insurance company will pay for all repairs and the damage with about $7,000 more in wiggle room before they deem the car totaled.
Give me a few months and I'll be driving my Z with you guys again!!! Great news! Another car like mine, (#2161) saved from the graveyard by a proud owner.  LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

Re: DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
Great news!!! I'm glad it worked out for you. Most of those guys have some good connections, when my '90 was hit in the passenger door a few years back they located a brand new NOS door to replace it with.

Re: DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
UPDATE: New development with my car. I just called the shop on the phone and they said they found more damage than originally expected. So they're now looking at it as a "restoration job." So they're estimates take it right up to the limit of what the insurance company is willing to pay.
They have the car all in pieces, so no more surprises are expected. Even so, I'm on the hook for the rest of the car and I'll pony up. Hell, who can beat a whole new car for a couple thousand bucks (and insane insurance costs in the future!) I'm going to head over there in the next week to see if they'll let me take some pictures. If so, I'll post 'em up.

Re: DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
Here are some better pics of my car. The insurance company I'm working with is a complete disaster. Five weeks after the accident and three weeks after I get confirmation to fix my car, the body shop hasn't be able to get ahold of my adjuster to OK the new cost ($18,000 - which they also said they would approve, but you can't get ahold of this damn guy!!!)
Here's the motor... Notice the computer that I spent TWO MONTHS waiting for and how trashed it is...  You guys can check out the whole deal on my new photobucket album. http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll75/djpatrickzr1/

Re: DISASTER! I wrecked my Z!!!
