6G Celicas Forums

Its the curse of the ST205 front end.

Just keep in mind that "it could be worst",your next move should be how to fix the car....not how to bare it.

We can start a poll asking the members what you should do now but the result would prolly be 90% to fix it. Anyway, you will decide because we dont know exactly what kind of damages it has or what kind of insurance repayment you are looking at.

And just to have a bit of fun with you and some other coupe owners, scrap and start over with a real Celica - a hatch.

and before people start flaming me... i am only kidding, dont forget I have a Curren parked next to my GT4.

.... and i have a 3SGTE engine to swap it.

dude, it could be worse... i read the topic and was like "holy **** someone finally died" but then opened it and it was just your car. still sucks though man. after all the time and money, id say fix it if its feasable. to me, it doesnt look like there is any damage to the a pillar, just the door, fender, bumper (), and maybe hood.... good luck with whatever you decided to do...

I know, something always seems to happen...

ok. Here's an update.

Me and my budy convinced David to fix his car. Actually, we are goin to take care of it. Both David and his car are in great hands. The damage isn't as bad as i thought it was.

The frame where the door hinges are, is bent just a LITTLE. Once again, minor.

Besides that, we just have to replace the door, fender, winshield, and strut cause i think it bent.

Dont worry everyone. Weather David likes it or not, i'll make sure that the celica smokes again.


In the words of David..........

HAPPY BOOSTING.

OMG that sucks!

Your car is one of my favorite ones on this site

luckily the damage doesn't look like it too bad, diffently would get the frame looked at though and if its off either have it straightened or total it and get another celi.

Best of luck to ya and keep us posted

hopefully u'll be boostin soon

NEVERSTOP

Crying....poor car. @ least you might be able to fix it.

It looks totaled... and here's why.

The Windshield is cracked which tells me that whole A pillar was compressed and i don't know automotive steel to bend back after something like that.. i would guess more is tweaked on that car then meets the eye, and unless his insurance covers the hood and bumper mods, and fresh paint, they may just cut him a check...

and mike kills all hope.

Never give up hope! You have my favorite Coupe on the whole site! It will drive again mang

damn dude at least ur ok. And it doesnt look hopeless to me for a rebuild or whatever.

Glad to hear it's getting fixed. Don't let that smokin' beauty go David! We all want to see it at the West Coast meet!

Wow sorry so to see that, seems like you've been having bad luck with that car, the hood, now this, it seems the driver should be a little more careful for now on

yeah most celicas that have accidents will have the windsheild broken why you ask well the airbag deploys and the top part of the airbag cause the window to break. just do a search for most celicas that had there air bags deployed. 99.9 percent of them will have a broken windshield

the car looks cool just a little bondo and youll be ok. at least your ok.

damn david that sucks homie. it was a really nice celi and all..........but........................it lookes like its time to get a supra.

Thanx sphinx,

Well what sphinx says is true i will be fixing my car. As for what i have to replace is from what you can see the door, fender, front windshield, and side mirror. Now what you cant see is the control arm. axle have to be replaced and NEW rims. SO in parts and some labor will be around $900-1k. Then the paint will be done by a member on celica.net for about $700 thats w/ the paint. I am pretty sure that there will be more little things here and there that will come up. But my goal is to have it done at theend of MAY. Then little to NO driving it just shows.

Thats it for now ill keep you guys posted.

Hmmm i think i still need a LOOOOT more $$ b4 i get one of those. ANyway thanx for the offer.

soon to be,
Happy Boosting,
David

Damn it David you messed up the celica!!! All that work and money. You better fix it. There will be no REST IN PEACE because that Celica will not DIE. I've help David and that car ever since the swap and body project started. I got dirty working on that car and saw it grow from a slow little celica to one fast machine. I will not let the celica die. So to see it messed up like that ^%$*.

It's great David decided to fix the celica. ToYCeLi8 will live again
