hello all,I know I dont post on here very often,
but none the less, I visit this site on a more than daily basis .
Just wanted to share a recent accident I was involded in an get some opinons on the repairs.
I was hit pulling into the driveway of my home,
the driver of the other car was on the phone,he must of not been paying attention becuase there were no skid marks and he hit me at a good 30-40 mph.Later it was found out that he wasnt wearing his seat belt either.
but beyond that,the front right of his car nailed the rear right of mine as i was turning into my drivway spinning me about 130 degrees into my yard,
he then rolled into a nearby telephone pole,I was alright,but when I got to him he was laying on the ground next to his car,he was conscouis but was not very responsive to anything I said.
He ened up being alright, he was just in shock from the accident.
I have the feeling they will end up totaling out my car,
now heres the question I came to ask,would it be worth my time to purchase this car back from the impound lot,and try to repair it?
This car was my baby a pristine condition 1981 280zx n/a 5 speed.
also if they are to not total it out,how can i be assured everything gets fixed on my car?
a couple of things that arn't shown in these pictures is that the back left wheel(the one off the rim),well the rim now has positive camber
wich i would like to hope is a severly bent rim,
also what about the suspension and drivetrain?
how can i be assured everything is the exact way it should be?
the driver of the other car had already accepted full responsibility for the accident.
but i just want to try to make sure the insurance compant doesnt try to rape me seeing how this is the first accident iver ever been in.
Thanks.
I hope yall can give me some pointers.
TY.
