Frame and Panal Damage
I just got rear ended on Wed night. The passenger side end of frame and panel is bent bad. I don't think the insurance company is going to fix it. Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has fixed their mustang's frame? My car is an 87, 5.0, high output. I believe its a unibody?

Sorry to hear it, welcome to the site, hope nobody was hurt. That's the main thing, everything else can be fixed. Definitely need someone to assess how bad the damage is, and then get a game plan from there. Chads got a good idea with finding a solid replacement and swapping everything over. Tough to tell without knowing how bad the damage is.

Welcome to CMOC. First you have to deal with the insurance company. If they write it off and you decide to keep the car to fix, they are going to brand it. Who wants a branded car. Some good advice from Chad and AP.

Thanks guys. But I am going to do anything I can to keep my car. It was the car I grew up in with my dad. He is Ill and I bought it off him in promise to keep good care of it. There goes that, but I'm going to fix it. It sucks that the insurance will brand it but I want to keep it. I'm thinking the same is around the 7000 mark, but I won't know anything till Monday. Ugh. I am thankful I wasn't hurt, but my poor car

It sucks too cause the car was in mint condition and completely stocked. Not a stratch on her. The only appraisal I got for it was 10 years ago, but my insurance said they use their own and won't take mine in to consideration. If I don't get what I deserve to get then it's going to be one hell of a fight! Thanks for all your info
