datsun40146 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Wrecked my car tonight while I was up in Ohio. I hit a concrete wall at about 40+ or so.What do you guys think it will take to fix it? Any ideas on damage that could be underneath? Here are the shots, BTW if anyone has the following parts IM me, I need them. Painted black preferably, all parts for a 99.5 Mk4 Golf. 1.Golf mk4 hood 2.Drivers fender 3.Bumper Cover 4.Inner wheel liners on both sides. 5.belly pan for a 2.0 (plastic) 6.Grill 7.Hood latch mechinism My leg snapped off my wiper switch and there fore my wipers are stuck on med. high lol. I need this part bad, if anyone has a wiper stalk IM me. I'm i'm just in case you guys care, no bumps, cuts or anthing, not even sore. I'm thinking about 1000 bucks in parts and paint. There is a company on ebay called D&H autoparts that sell vw body parts and will paint them. The parts I need will run 996 painted and shipped to my door. Thats just the body panels though.

naviathan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm sorry, I have to ask the question that's just begging to be asked here...How did you hit a concrete wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firm Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm no body expert here, but it seems as if the frame might have been tweaked a little bit by the way that the gap in between the passenger fender and the hood got bigger instead of smaller. IDK though.. Did you make it out alright? [edit] I missed the last line before the pictures. My bad. It's good that you made it out so well man, that's the most important thing. Now you have more time in the z car, eh? Time to hit up the pick n' pulls and Craigslist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun40146 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I hit the wall avoiding traffic as I drove on the wrong side of the road. Here is the complete story. I was looking at this car I checked the car out, it was nice, but he was asking a bit much IMO. I think it was worth about 1500-2000. Anyway I was leaving and was heading down river road in cincinantti. I have never driven there and that city is as confusing as it gets to drive in. Anyway I had my Garmin GPS on and it informed me to keep left on the river road and to exit to get back to Ky. The road hadn't been paved recently and one bit really had no lines. Anyway that was the bit that garmin told me to keep left on. So I kept left when the road split, and I ending up in the north bound lane, while I was headed south. I dodged a car, locked up the front brakes, the car darted as I tried to make a quick U-turn and my front end meet a concrete divider wall. I backed out, finished my U- turn and pulled into a near by parking lot. Thats about it. The lines were faded to a point of non existance, no one way signs, and there was no traffic to let me know. No one way signs, just garmin saying keep left. I did that and you see what happened. Well thats my story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
