Bad times, I presume everyone involved were ok?

Girlfriend is ok yeah, she was also only one in the car so. What sucks though is I am unemployed since January and can't afford to do shit with the car at the moment. My mechanical skills are good enough to change/replaces turbos and equipment, but bent metalwork... no idea how to judge what is compromised in that deparment and damage to wheels/suspension and the like. No pressure in the coolant pipes so I guess they broke somewhere as well, Oil coolers is bent a bit backwards as well. Some damage in the engine compartment The whole package with radiators is bent inwards towards engine, no damage to turbo and such though Front right wheel Rear right wheel Exhaust gas pipe

You can see chassis leg bend by the pulley front right where the paint has come off.
You may want to look for a donor shell or start stripping in the hope the parts will raise enough to buy another one!
Feel for you, my wife isn't insured on my Coupe for this exact reason....

Thanks for your feedback lost55! I'll try to remove as much as I can still and see if I will simply use this car as a spare parts car for... maybe a new Coupe once I get a new job Maybe a 2000 Limited Edition car this time Still feel sad to lose my partner in crime after 11-12 years of driving it

Thanks for the advice Big_Muzzie! Sad thing is I usually don't even use the car during winters, but since my GF's car did not pass the inspection due to rust, I had to sacrifice it for winter driving this time... I had pretty good winter tires on it as well but.. meh. You need seperate insurance per person driving in the UK? Here in Finland the insurance is per car, so anyone can drive. I guess both systems has theirs pros and cons. Yeah if I get a new Coupé she can only dream of driving it

Very glad only pride was hurt. With those trees around it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully the value of parts will get you somewhere close to being able to afford a suitable replacement?
