Pictures of the I-4 Orlando Crash
The crash results look minor except for the busted rear facia and the broken quarter panels but being on the receiving end, my neck, shoulders and arms are being nursed by some serious advil today! 
From what I hear, Tim Burke can make this mess look good as new!! Glad I had my camera....I had taken several pictures at the Mod Party!
Broken right quarter panel
Buckled left quarter panel
Ouch!

At least your Ok... Sore but OK... and I'm impressed with your attitude about this as well... It's tough but what can you do at this point? Fix it and go on!!
Good luck on the repairs...

That minor accident is going to cost abot $10 grand
Make sure they understand that the crash bar is high stregnth steel and it can not be bent back or welded. It needs to be replaced and heliarched (SP?). Also make sure the tint is correct. That is similar to my accident where the AH ran into my rear and then blaimed me for causing an accident. Also don't settle for used or after market parts. Lastly look closely at the seat. It is marginal to begin with and a bump like that destroys it.
I forgot. Don't forget to look closely at the tub, the internal box. That is easily damaged also and isn't visable. I found that even the access covers in the rear were deformed and had to be replaced.
My accident wasn't much different than your's.

Sorry about your fine ride...but glad to hear you are ok.
Maybe I missed something here, but I didn't read what it was that ran into you.

That really sucks, I hate to see pics like that, seems like you could never get hit in a POS, but look out if you are in a nice car......I could care less if somebody hit my beater, but that will never happen.....

Good that you are okay. Also good that you have pics. Try to also identify as much damage that is "under" the car, as a lot will be hidden damage that you want to make sure is done right.
Keep us posted on you recovering and how you make out in getting the repairs done.

I just saw this post Randy - bummer 
Just glad you are OK, and I hope your car comes back better than new. It was great seeing you on Saturday.
