Wrecked My First Mustang

Dane023 · January 16th, 2009, 02:51 AM

I wreacked my first mustang going to my g/f's house. I was not thinking and took my car out on a wet cold night. I hit ice going about 45 and took the left front end into a tree, it flipped a few times and ended up backwards in an embankment. Its a shame because i wasn't even thinking it would be icy out. We were restoring the car and the whole interior got redone, the interior was amazing and still is its the only thing left that was good on the car beside the t-5.

chickenbot · January 16th, 2009, 04:26 AM

e3sean · January 16th, 2009, 04:27 AM

that sucks dude glad your alright. i bet that was a fun ride. good thing they are pretty cheap and easy to swap over.

Based on that single picture, I'd say the car is salvageable. It depends on how bad the rear took damage, but the front really doesnt look that bad.

Sucks but at least your not hurt.

Naw, it wont buff right out, but unless the frame rearward of the strut towers was bent (usually that stays pretty intact depending on how hard the hit is), it is salvageable. The only reason it looked salvageable to me is the roofline and A pillars still look to be straight, but from that single picture it really is hard to tell.

That is a picture of my car that was fixed just fine. The frame rails were bent at a 35* angle from straight.

That sucks your car was destroyed, and thankfully you didnt get hurt. Good luck with your swap over and car search.
