Well I went around a turn, rear end slipped out..damn summer tires in 30 degrees. Front tire hit curb and the lower control arm broke causing loss of steering. Car went sideways and slammed into a median, small grasss one. Not a concrete one, and the curb took off my rear tire. Damage looks pretty bad, I am assuming the car might be totaled. Heres some pics let me know what you think. Plastic is because I removed the T-tops and driver side window is broken from my head hitting it.

Easily fixable. Buy it back and put it in circulation again if you can, IMO.

you got that. it'll be a decent amount of work but any capable body man will be able to do that easy. I work at a body shop and know for sure my boys would be able to fix that.

fix it and get it back on the road, great looking car you have there.

Thanks guys for all the support!! So most of you think its fixable, we'll find out soon. Insurance is looking at it on Monday. I am just trying to figure out how the lower control arm cracked..which I think kept me from pulling out of the spin.

Actually now that I think about it. I did hear some noise from the front left a couple days before. Was going to look at it today. I wonder if that control arm was cracked and then broke when I went around the turn, because the front wheel has curb rash but no dent to show impact which would have cracked the control arm. So I think the part failed, cracked and locked up my wheel causing the car to spin...

Until the car is cut in half, there is always ways to fix things. Just understand AGE has a huge factor in insurance, no matter the milage and condition, as the car gets older it's worth less and enough damage CAN TOTAL IT.

Consider the increase over 3 to five years for a collision claim may eat away what is paid out and honestly, if it isnt worth that much, dont claim it, not even mentioning it and fixing it on your own.

So as long as you plan to keep it and if you resell it, advise the buyer it was damaged but fixed.

A good body guy can fix it but get an honest quote and your going to need a new rear most likely or at least an axle, seals and beaings.

After reviewing your photos. I came up with some conclusions. Most of would agree that the car is fixable. while some would ask to sell it. If you can take the car to a frame shop and get it straighten out since it looks a bit off. if your axle is ok, replace the axle shafts, bearings, seals and hub. otherwise replace it with something better...moser 9" ..oh brake lines as well. Call CCW and get a quote on there repair shop for your wheels. the insurance company would probably call it totaled but what do they know. you have a bunch of cosmetic repair as well...local junk yards or online sites will help you out with most of that stuff.
