[SPD_FRK]

Holy crap there is other life here...I am down in Arvada. The car is sitting as a dead duck for a bit until everything is back together on it lol. Are there ever any meet-n-greets around here for you Galant guys or what? I would like to see what some of you have going so far.

I will have to see if I can make it up there for that. I am still puttting my G back together from a tear down and awaiting more parts to complete the Brembo upgrade.

[Ivory8g]

nice! i wont be able to go long seeing how I have to work at 12. pretty lame but at least i can go for a little wish my car was all done for summer

[G_RIDE]

didnt even kno there was a car show but im sure i could make it. damn ivory8g ur ride is comin along good. shit im tryin to get mine lowered and rims put on and cant even do that.

[Ivory8g]

yeah its on a local site put on by some CU students and I think this will be the third year, its mostly show cars though and lots of subarus. last year there was a lot of everything there. exotic, euro, import, trucks, themed vehicles as well like jurassic park lmao

[SPD_FRK]

Well I guess I won't be making it up there for the car show, have stuff to do here at work and really need to get a few items on the list of car stuff done lol.

Just a heads up, if either of you is interested at all in the "Storm Chasers" (the Discovery channel ones) they will be showing up here supposedly within the week to start working on the TIVs here at my work for the upcoming storm season again. If you want to drop by sometime and have a look around the shop let me know (Ivory I have a second home for you here in the turbo shop you may really like hehe.

[Ivory8g]

o_O you have a shop? Ooooh dont tease me LOL. I wanna come!
I wont be making it to the car show either. I would only be able to go for 30 min before I have to turn around and haul ass back to longmont to make it to work on time. LAME! well my car isnt done yet either so I might as well go next year and blow some socks off while i am at it.

Quick question for you guys. So I just got into a car accident in my poor 7G and they want to total it. My question is, should I try to buy the car back from the insurance company. Do you think its worth it??

It is probably worth $500-$800 from a salvage yard but I'm no expert. I bought mine for $600 from a salvage yard with a bad tranny and 300k miles on it. How much is the insurance company giving you for it, $2-3k?

If you've done a lot of work to it you can try to fight and have the car repaired. If not, the damage doesn't look like it is serious. You could probably bend the hood back close enough to not notice much or pick parts from a salvage yard. Might be a good chance to go carbon fiber hood and JDM front if the numbers work out.

The adjuster is suppose to give me a call today with some figures. Other than what just happend to the front the car was flawless. Im hoping that they ll sell it back to me for cheap that way the money I get from the wreck can go to repairs on the car.

[kLeAn7G]

So they want to give me $1900 if I release them my car or I can keep it and walk away with $1200. Any advice??

[Ivory8g]

you'll have to add some cash to that to get a decent g

[djhah]

Hey looks like your not alone after all! I still am though here in Tennessee :(

[kLeAn7G]

you'll have to add some cash to that to get a decent g

Would it be worth keeping my 7G and repairing it??

[Ivory8g]

as long as your frame isnt bent and the car is still structurally sound then yep. as eclipsh said you can bend stuff back or replace parts as you see fit

[eclipsh]

You could ask for $1400 and you keep the car. Remind them of how good a condition it was in before the crash. Either way though, keep the car. You can buy a nice CF hood for $500 or so or hit a salvage yard and pick a matching white one up for maybe $100-200. If you can't find a T-bar let me know. I've got mine lying around. The badge is gone and the paint is chipped but it could be touched up and it is white. You could also take this as a chance to switch to the 7GB or JDM front cover. You can see in my build thread that the 7GB can be opened up nicely for a FMIC if you ever want to go turbo. Lots of fun options to be had!

Its not bent. And still mechanically sound.

Thank you guys for all the advice. I think I am going to keep it. Ive grown too attached to it. Ill let you guys know if I can haggle anymore money out of the insurance company.

What she looked like before the wreck.
