suspension damage plays a HUGE role in that. $$$$$$$

even if the suspension wasnt fucked, it would still be a couple thousand in repairs. (radiator/radiator support, hood, pass. fender, grille, one headlight. and paint.

to be honest though, i think i had my run with the 2G TL.. i miss it, and sometimes wish i could take it out for a spin. but not looking to own one again, not at this time anyway.

haha nah.

money isnt a problem for me. they had liability on the TL.. they could use the help im sure.

im just trying to do my part and get some of these wanted items back to the community. its the least i could do for everything this place did for me while building it.

suspension is actually cheap to repair , it's body work and paint work that is the big $$$$$ (especially a bent frame rail)

any ways i don't think the suspension be bent or anything, looks like the wheel might have only been slightly touched, even then only pushed back a little, which the bushings might have been able to soak up
, but yes the framerail would need a good looking at and probably fixed though, which is a huge amount of labour, cause the whole front end would have to come out, along with the motor being pulled

never having one of my own cars wrecked before.. we had a work truck that was wrecked a while back. the passenger fender and grill was broken.. but the front axle, steering linkage and brake lines busted... 7k in repairs.. its not so much the parts.. but the labor for putting in a front suspension is outrageous...
