looks fixable

yes it is, used to fix hard hit new cars 20 years ago, the salvage titles came.

The most important thing here is that your ok! Vehicles can be replaced, but you can't. Your truck does look like it can be fixed, but you never know how the other parties insurance is going to handle the claim. After an accident last year in my ZR2 the insurance company tried to total my SUV saying it would be too expensive to fix. In the end I settled for $8k to cover repairs, even though I got it all done for under $3k, and my Blazer still has a normal title. If you were not at fault, get as much $ as possible, fix what you can, have a shop finish the rest, and pocket the rest for your troubles!

You should have seen what my cc looked like after running into the back of a semi! The engine pushed the entire dashboard 4" into the cab and the airbags didn't deploy. Luckily I had my seatbelt on or I wouldn't be writing the post.

Sorry to hear this, Saab9k. But I know how it feels. Before I got my crew cab, I had a Blazer Xtreme that was totaled by a drunk driver.

sry to here that. i hope it comes out good when its fixed

[saab9k]

It is paid for, so insurance check will be issued to me.
Tag-ed , new inspection sticker on my 1992 saab9k turbo, Eddie griffin edition, # 141 of 400.
That car will scoop, and get good fuel mileage, would not mind that engine being in the S10.

The Saab has been parked since 2008, needed new battery, fill up with prem gas.

Pictures?

[saab9k]

Here is my saab 9000CD, + the taurus sho 1989 model 5 speed i bought in 1992 used with 51000 miles, still in warrenty. 160xxx miles now, has a 2007 tag on it. Need a fuel pump, ready to go then.

[HenryJ]

The SHO is a pretty fun drive. Quite a sleeper.
At least it looks like you're no "a-foot".

[saab9k]

That sho is a rocket, in it's younger days, i turned the engine 8000 rpm several times. In the F1 version it turned 14000 rpm, Yamaha did a excellent job on that engine.

[saab9k]

He came today, wrote a $5020.00 estimate, to fix it.

[saab9k]

Is ready to fix it, got $1105. added to fix it. Found all the parts needed. cost me $100. in diesel for pickup, $500.00 for parts.

here is a pic of it

[saab9k]

The rear door got some small nics on it, is easy to fix. Is complete, front door is mostly a shell.

[HenryJ]

Looks good!

Are you going to change the fuel pump while it is apart?
