Easy fix? I have no idea where to start. Hood roof is dented up pretty bad. Back window is gone. Trunk bent up pretty bad too. I'm pretty pissed because the city decided to cut the roots earlier this year. I think thats why it fell.

oh my

ive never seen anything like that (outside of joke websites)

thats scary

d'oh!

that sucks.

you could either cut a top off a junker 510, or make a convertable 510.

In either case it would seem that it's the city's fault for it falling over, but i wish you luck getting anyone to pay for it. your homeowners insurance is more likley to pay than the city.

no!!!!!!!!!!!! that sucks so bad! sorry

Thanks guys, yea i'm still waiting for a reply with my Ins. I was thinking the same about that chopping the roof thing and even making it a couple inches lower or something. I'm gonna go take some pictures with the tree off of it now. They just came the other day to pick up some of the stumps

SVP5TEN · Jan 12th, 2005, 01:17 AM

hey i agree with b11 here. i believe it is fixable. other than that SUE THE CITY!!! thats BS man. hopefully you get enough money to get a full race car going for the season.

What do you guys think they would do at a body shop. Bang out the dent or replace the whole roof? Or even cut out the dent and weld some sheet metal or something? I'm calling my Ins tomorrow morning they are lagging on getting back to me already.
