wrecked it.

[marinepowerstroke]

sombody slammed on brakes in front of me. swerved to miss but couldn't, ran over the left rear quarter panel and trunk of a mustang. everybody's ok. but i need some help fixing my rig. damage to mustang-totaled. damage to 250-
1. bent pass. leaf spring,
2. broke shaft coming out of steering gearbox,
3. bent steering linkages (one from pittman arm to spindle, and the one from side to side),
4. bent rim,
5. blew out tire,
6. bent/wrinkled fender,
7. cracked glass,

there's a few other minor things i'm not to worried about. i made a custom offroad bumper out of 1/4inch steel that just caused me to slide up and over the trunk of the mustang, and didn't cause any damage to the bumper. but i'd like to see if anyone know's where/recommend a place to get replacements for all this. the insurance company is just gonna cut me a check to have it fixed. also, does anybody know about how much in parts and labor this is gonna cost? i'd like to do it myself, but i don't know if i can afford it. i have a 500 dollar deductible, so if it cost 3000, they're gonna cut me a check for 2500. if anybody can give me an estimate on how much this is going to cost for parts and labor that'd be GREAT. and also a place to buy all these parts if i do it myself.

thanks in advance,

Marine

thanks man. i got usaa and from what i've heard from my friends, is that they do really good estimates and don't try to cheap out on parts. but i'll get the pictures to you soon. (if i can figure it out).

thanks again,

Marine

do you have a lift or is it stock? i have the front springs from my 2000 f250 when i did my lift. this might be the time to lift yours. i bought my pro comp 4" for around $800 with the new springs front and rear add a leaf

[6.0 paul]

No prob. When ever

[marinepowerstroke]

it has the mini-spring pack leveling kit. (wasn't messed up, but the two main leafs are warped up pretty bad). and i'm hoping i can lift it with the money.

and thanks a lot man, i'll get them to you today or tommorow. i'm a Marine at MCAS New River, i work from 9pm-7am, so it'll be tommorow morning or tonight sometime.

thanks again guys,

Marine
