Damn, that's jacked up! I was wondering how that happened till I saw the culprit. Looks like something you would see on a iced over highway, not a parking lot. Glad nobody was hurt.

That's like getting a group hug at a transgender convention. They look like trucks, but . . . . . . .

At least yours will take so much less work considering it's steel while those two aluminum trucks will be big $$$$$
The least damaged ford has an $11,000 bodywork quote, plus frame work to be determined.
My dealerships quote was $6,800.
Oh so glad I own a 2nd Gen.

So I got my stereo installed and it sounds beautiful. Got it synched to my phone for phone calls and music. I'm coming around to liking technology even though I resisted for so long. Decided since work has been slow to go ahead and buy more sound dampener and do the roof and floorboard. Got the headliner tore out this week and redid it in black, painted the overhead console/dome light ect., and put up the dampener.
The headliner wasn't all that bad but it does have a few creases here and there. Another person helping would have been nice because when the liner is folded back flat, it can break over and opposed to staying rolled. If you don't get it worked out right before it lays down, it's impossible to get it smooth. With another person you can keep the whole piece of material upright and bring it down to the surface. I'm happy enough with it though. Oh, also put new map light switches and LED's in and buffed the lenses (same deal with the dome light).

We know that’s what they want us to do... but I’m also looking at opening up the dash for a double DIN, and putting in an apple play unit.

It spent its first 3 years in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The rust proofing obviously helped.
