New Rolla, frame damage....

Help me guys. I need to know what I need to get...

Slammed into a curb on the way back from picking up my uncle.

Passenger tire is blown. looks like the rad support got mangled. lower cross member got ripped out of the center front support, and the support is all ****ed... the car still drives but needs body work... do you guys know anyone that can help me? I just dumped all the money I have into this car, and now its ****ed. I swear I can't get ahead...

I saw these kids fighting, so I turned around and went back to tell them to go home, I was moving a little too fast, brakes locked, slammed into the curb... cracked the windshield too. that is the least of my worries... I don't know what to do guys... I am ****ing speech less.

Does that center frame support come off?

that didn't take long....

you'll need a new core support welded into place and a new cross member, car is NOT safe to drive like that since theres nothing supporting the front engine mount. may also need a new engine mount. you need to check the other end of that cross member for damage to the engine subframe.

Geez.....ouch! Well, they sell the front core support but it has to be cut out then a new one rewelded back in. Cross member has to be replaced. Check the bolts on the other end of that cross member though.

Try to find a wrecked Corolla where only the back or side got hit...you never know you might find one. It'll be a lot cheaper.

Nah. All I need is a rad support and a new cross member, and I have friends that can weld. It will be cake.

i wasnt being careless. the road was salted, and not the shoulder.. i had to swerve to miss from rear ending a car that thought it was a good idea to pull into traffic in front of me, without giving me enough time to stop, and the shoulder was iced over, i slammed on the brakes, they locked up, and i slammed into a curb. it was either the curb, or that car, with 2 kids in the back seat.. all this happened, as i was turning around to go yell at these kids to stop fighting.

The way I see it, and even you acknowledged this was that you implied that you were speeding.

Chalk it up to a lesson learned. Don't be so reckless next time and drive appropriately for the season and road conditions.
