2 thursdays ago I slammed into 3 curbs doing alitle drifting practice in a parkinglot. That wasnt too bad except I bent my power steering rack and destroyed my tow hook. I replaced the rack with a brand new one from napa and all was well. The very next friday I somehow manage to slam into a deer. That has pretty much destroyed the car. The hood is toast, passenger side light is destroyed the fender is done, along with the Radiator support portion of the frame is bent to hell and pushed in. Heres some pics:

This isnt the first accident its been in. Last year around this time, my friend put it into a light pole so the frame has already had a number done on it from then. This is one of the reasons I'm trashing the car. The other is that the car is obviosly cursed.

I'm in the process of looking for a shell. Here's what I'm looking to replace it with:

I am sorry to hear that you are going to scrap it. But on a side note, how many times has the car bees painted...I see the flat black, white, and it looks like it was originally red...:|

lol, the car was originally white. That fender was replaced cuz the original rotted out. The replacement was red.

Damn, you have a Nice Looking S12 there. The flat color looks nice on it. Well, Looking forward to your next project. Good Luck.

(btw, How did you get that hood made and are you selling parts?)

Gee, doesn't that look familiar? I had a similar result as you did.

Too bad you're not closer to me. There's a black 87 SE in a wrecking yard. My friend saw it and said it had not been hit, but was missing the front suspension. Motor is still in it even. I have not been out to look at it yet.
