so i wrecked my svt pretty bad. - The Ford Focus Forum

**EuroAyres** · 02-23-2009, 09:46 AM

Leo i was in a head on collision and hit a car pretty good. I bent my left frame rail and fender rail pretty bad. I cannot locate either. I know its going to be a weld in deal when i can get them. Do you have any sorces for some? Also do you happen to have any spare front end parts pretty much from the motor forward i need lol.

**EuroAyres** · 02-23-2009, 11:49 PM

ohh yea its f'ed. I have a plan though to make things rite

Chris, i dont know if you can get the pieces your talking bout, But i do know they can be worked back. i messed up one of mine and the guy fixed it to like new. i mean it was perfect.

**EuroAyres** · 02-24-2009, 06:14 AM

Well what i have to decide is wether or not to buy a shell i have a line on and re-spray it orange and put all my crap into it and on it to make it a zx3 svt or to try and fix mine. Now i worked at a body shop for a while so i can get cheaper labor but the bottom rails are bent and both fender rails/aprons are bent too. So i have to weigh my options here. The true lesson here is DO NOT PUT PLPD or STANDARD COVERAGE ON A CAR YOU OWE ON cause this outcome sucks. I mean both MACHs are broken The radiator supprisingly held up along with the ac condensor. Its all frame and body damage. But one of the frame rails is tweaked pertty bad so i dont know how they will pull it right if they can.

Hmmm, I never really thought about it but I guess that varries from state tot state.

In CA if you're financing the car you're required to carry full coverage.

If you couldn't really afford the car (ie 0 down long term financing) you still may be upside down, but that's your problem for being over leveraged.

**ehancock** · 02-24-2009, 06:34 PM

I thought full coverage was required here in MI too.

**EuroAyres** · 02-25-2009, 04:00 PM

It is but i had a 4% credit card that i put the car onto instead of the 8% i was getting at the bacnk so the title is clear in my name. so putting plpd on it was not an issue however i wish i wouldnt have been able to because now im in some stuff.

Hah they won't let you do that in Indiana or Kentucky because I tried to put 7k on it once. I wanted the rewards points and I didn't want to wait while I shuffled money around. However, I bet that would be one heck of a charge for the dealer though so I can see why they only let you put a max of 2k on it.

**EuroAyres** · 02-27-2009, 06:24 AM

well i bought the car used for 12 grand fin threw my credit union with little miles on it. Paid it down to 8 then thought to myself hey why am i paying 8% when i could pay 4% and just keep paying the same payment and get it down faster. Well it bit me in the butt..

**EuroAyres** · 03-05-2009, 10:13 PM

Leo do you have a used or spare rad support or lower rad support tie bar youd sell?
