If a car skids across pavement it should have left black marks. The damage to the Saturn looks like a very low speed accident. Do you have pictures of exactly how the cars settled, or did y'all move the cars :?:Crapple21 said:

Well that's where her car rolled after the accident but didn't take any pictures because she moved it out of the way. There aren't any black marks I don't know why but I know that when I do a burnout most of the time it doesn't leave a mark for some reason
Sorry to hear about your Camino man. It sucks having your car smashed up by some careless driver. If I were you I would find a good collision shop that has the frame specs for your car, and have them measure the frame to make sure that it is not tweaked.
The quarter panel could be fixed but it won't just pop right out, it is going to need to be pulled. It looks to me like there is some hidden damage to the inner panel. If you are going to replace the quarter I would pull it first to get the inner out to where it should be, then you will have to do some work with a hammer and a dolly to get the inner wheel lip into shape so the new 1/4 panel will fit properly.
Good luck with your car and the insurance company.

It's going to be awhile to fix it🙁 I can't really afford for someone to do the work for me right now I don't have a lot of money due to being a student
well, it might be worth a laugh but you can do what I did
to cover it up till it can be fixed
On another note, the body is 1" off center in the direction you would expect so that is something to look for when you go to fix it

replacing the quarter panel might not be as hard as i thought i talked to a guy at work about it who loves my car and was saying that they dont weld the quarter panels on they use some type of adhesive. since i have no idea how to weld and dont really want to learn on sheetmetal because id be afraid of warping it. i just did a litle research on the adhesive stuff and people say good things about it what do you guys think?
they use the structural adhesive on new cars so it's good and it's been used on aircraft for years.
