Got swiped on the freeway

Don't ever post much here - but by parts from fellow TL'rs. Had my 1G TL hit on the interstate a few weeks ago. Everyone was safe, just me in the car. Working with insurance to get it fixed, dropped it off today. Here's the before picture:


Will post again when it's all bandaged back up. It rusted up quickly if you notice the 4+ inch gash in the door.

Good day to all.

Sorry. At least you're OK. It looks like your 1G is in good shape other than the damage. How many miles are on it?
