My deep sympathies. I’m glad you have the right skillset to do something about it - but you won’t be getting back to that neat faded blue look...

Not as good as the car. But he wasn’t as smart as his two friends.

That really sucks, it was in very serviceable shape before the deer strike. I guess body work is now added to the list.

Oh mannn....I am so sorry to hear this happened! :(

Should be repairable, eh? Hopefully not too costly....? That fender looks removable. Is the front clip removable as well? At least the bumper doesn’t look damaged at all!

Car still driving OK?

Not to in any way tell you your job, but it’s just this sort of difficulty the old classic “Key to Metal Bumping” was made for. “Unlocking” the damage and what not.

If hit in MT yes. But probably not in Canadia.

Fucking deer. If they’re not eating your landscaping they’re wrecking your cars. Fucking assholes.

I liked it just the way it was. was planning to replace all the seals and gaskets, learn how it works, and drive around in my convertibe. Plans have now changed. still gonna rip around with the top laid down though.

But I have the current oppo “road trip championship” which I just made up, and also it comes with double prize money.

Not a fender, front clip is all one piece, integral to the unitbody, none of it comes off.

I try not to, but was a bodyman for years, went to bodyman school, never intending to be a bodyman, but to facilitate my old-car jones, and because they rust where I live. Quality body work and rust repair doesn’t come at buddy prices. Big money or learn how to do it, no one will do it for you. ever. Now if you want dirty work, my dirty work is fabulous, and it lasts as long as my good work, the only difference being ethical/philosophical

Goddammit. Been working all day on a business trip (Montreal FTW) and this just sucks.

Hope you’re ok first of all and that the car is drivable / repairable. Sorry.

It’s insured, but this is a 200% write-off-go-home-kid wreck. regardless of it’s potential value. It’ll get fixed though. Won’t stop me from enjoying it this summer.

I just awoke from a dream that certainly had your corvair as an input factor, but was also a throwback to my first car. And a few other influencers...

I hope you will keep us informed on how you decide to proceed. The damn thing was ideal before Bambi came along. How much did you give for it?

Have you seen my project? www.tinyurl.com/vandurapics I need to update some photos as the cobwebs are now gone inside. I’ve been very successful at buying parts but at installing them, not so much.
