Ouch.... Sorry to see the damage; good thing you and the dog are okay - I actually wrecked mine last weekend but thankfully insurance is kicking in. I have the same hood as yours and your lettering looks pretty cool, where did you get it?

Im a full time college student. Between a rent increase, bills, roommate skipping out, and *So far* no debt for classes, had to cut full coverage, and being 21, its expensive. My insurance did try to give me a 150 dollar hike though PER MONTH. said screw them. The frame stayed straight on the UNDERSIDE. the upper part bent, but that's not so hard to pull. mechanic thinks 2-5 pulls, bout a $1000. not a single broken engine bracket, transmission still works, the rear is fine. thing turns over, starts, and roars just perfectly. I haven't been able to bring him home yet. I wrecked it almost 200 miles from home, but have batted my eyelashes enough to at least get a discounted tow by hopefully next week. Control arms probably broke, though hard to tell. I DO need a new bumper, fender, and probably a new front clip. New shocks, new tires, new fuel door, new Driver headlight (It works, just crunched) Driver side front marker, and the plastic cover where the oil fill cap comes out of (tore that clean off), and new windshield. It turns on, electronically, everything sound. Not a single code thrown. I think that's the impressive feat. might need knew driver seat belt. it stopped retracting after 1st impact, though I think I just need to pull the panal and it's probably just jammed up. Hood is trufiber, And I worked alot with fiberglass, and it's just got minor cracks. letters are off ebay for 0.99 each, did the measurements and spacing myself.
More photos of car. Not SO bad as rest.
The driver side rear tire has the tear in it, hard to see in photo
The door seperation was fixed already, the outer shell had just come loose, the fender also was moved back.
