Comin Back Options

Well I got side swiped by someone and am still waiting for insurance money, but I decided to goto the junkyard today to see if I could find replacement parts.

First off the damage:


Here is what I found today at the junk yard:

No damage, just some scratches which will be worked out when its painted


Random bolts/screws/plastic things, can never have too many of those


A new Sirius antenna, way better than my old wax-stained one (old one on the right)


And finally the best find, some stock sides


The best part, all of it cost under $100. Since I am saving mega money by getting the parts for so cheap I think I am going to lower it again and clean the old exels off (pics in profile) and put them back on after everything gets painted. Thats gonna be about it for the Celica since I will be graduating from college in a year and will probably buy a different car. Until then, I will be helping my friend with this..

89 Golf GTI

He has a Passat with a built 1.8T pushing about 300 hp at the wheels.Guess what is going in this 2200 pound Golf

Just got off the phone with State Farm, the insurance of the lady who hit my car. They have denied that my car was in the accident because it is not mentioned in the police report and the driver denied hitting my car. My roomates car was hit too and the cops didn't deny his car so there was a police report written up. I requested that my name at least be put on the report somewhere and the cops refused. When I originally made my claim with State Farm they told me that the police report isn't looked at as much as the pictures or physical evidence from the accident, so I wasn't that worried. And of course they come back around and say the police report is the main deciding factor, they said the damage could have been from anything (the same thing the cops said). I doubt they looked at the pictures because I KNOW they would prove that my car was hit. I guess it is just a classic case of being screwed by the police and insurance companies.

All in all, its gonna take a bit longer to get the Celica looking good again
