Word!

99% sure it is totalled since the bags went off and judging by the angle of the battery in the one pic (caved radiator support I'm guessing).
Radiator support is definitely caved in.

The Engine is making a weird humming noise when I turn it on.

Is the radiator busted? (I would guess that it is.) If so, the humming your hearing could be the water pump running dry maybe.

From the pics you posted she looks totaled. Put a fork in her, she's done. What are your pans now? Are you wanting to get another one or will you move on to some other platform?

It's all about who u know really, I bent my frame in a wreck, but I had a friend that was a welder, ordered all my pieces offline, eBay, hawks, junk yards, pieced it back together slowly and cheaply and I had about 1000 left over, it'll work out bro, a lot of times people will even come together and piece you back together, if I still had my old hood it'd be yours free, just pay shipping, either way, keep your head up, most wrecks are like 85% cosmetic and 15% structural (my own statistic) lol but either way, it's probably mostly cosmetic. Good luck!!

I'm sure there is more to repair/replace under the hood.


I have full coverage

So if they decide to call it a total loss i'll just pick up another F-body.

Spoke to the adjuster yesterday and told me it'll be totalled since both air bags deployed and considering the age of my car.


Will have confirmation this week when he inspects the car.
