%*#@ Deer

[ladyhawke]

Hi all. I've looked on Toyota Nation for info before and been very successful. For that I thank all you folks.

I live in Montana and drive a AWD 1990 All Trac DX wagon. It was attacked by a deer on the way home from work the day after Christmas. And like all insurance companies I am stuck with trying to fix a "salvage" car because they don't pay on older vehicles no matter how good they are. I've only got 140,000 miles on it and have had quite a bit of work done to it (still paying on some). Anyway, I need to find parts for the front end and front passenger side as well as a hood. The bumper is okay as the deer soared up onto the hood almost coming thru the windshield. Thankfully it flew by before that happened!

I love my car and can take it into the mountains as well as having very safe driving on the snowy icy highway. I refuse to give it up!

Any help out there? I need to know if any other toyotas have headlights that match my vehicle because they only made the corolla all tracs for a few years and the chances of any parts from the salvage yard are nil unless another toyota has the same parts. I would also need a fender and hood.

So, does anyone know of a different model toyota that has interchangeable body parts with mine?

All help would be sincerely appreciated since I will probably go to the salvage yard tomorrow to look around.

Thanks,
