Sorry to hear that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I know how you feel. I lost my '00 SS a while back. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

I got all the bolt-ons off the car. The insurance company didn't care as long as I had the original parts to put back. It's still your car until they pay you for it. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
Don't let them steamroll ya into giving up that turbo kit.

Good luck on your WS6 project! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

goodluck, and he's right, its your car till they buy it from you. (and even then, you can normally buy it back for like 10-20% of the declared value (thats what i woudl do if you can afford to)

Jesus Jerry I hope your injuries aren't serious. Take it from me though I work wrecks every day and the only thing that matters is that you are ok. Cars can be replaced. Call me or George we just saw this and I tried calling your cell and was unable to get through. Glad you are ok though.

I cant hardly work on it yet. Witnesses say I got hit by another car on the highway and I t-boned the wall. Was unconcious till the hospital. I have on cracked rib....3 cracked vertebrae and a bunch of cuts. Cant wait to heal and get back after it. Adjuster is coming thursday i think. I will try to buy the car from them for cheap and get the motor and tranny with turbo. Hell thats all that is left i think....both airbags popped. Thanks for the kind words....i'll recover in 4-6 weeks.....maybe with another ws6!!! How did the reynolds shootout go?

Glad that you are ok for real after hearing that.... Man... Like Chad said, I can help you turn wrenches or whatever you want to do... I am sure there are a few mods we can take off of the car.... It will be easy to, since we do not have to worry about scratching the paint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
