poor cutty ate a deer

[stockgp]

i suspect she's totaled. hood, fender, grill, radiator, condenser, core support, headlights and who knows what under the hood.

i know the alt and power steering pump aren't working. could just be the belt.

waiting for my adjuster to come, but i don't expect to get sh*t out of her. damn disappointing

Likely it is totalled by the insurance co but that don't mean much on G bodys. It won't take much to get it back on the road, what year is it, by the pics I would say 78-80.

82. with what it'll take to get it back together and get it repainted, i won't want to try. it'll be easier to just take the check and find another car.

it's been a good car, but it's not worth fixing

That really sucks, sorry for your lose. Hope it all works out for you somehow

the onyl thing that makes me feel better is that i absolutely massacred the deer. i can't believe my car isn't covered in blood. when i walked back to look at it, it's guts wee everywhere and it was pretty much torn in half

My car smaked a deer last year a few weeks after I got hit by a truck. Yeah it gets totaled out but that means nothing. Buy it back, fix it yourself and pocket the cash. If you dont know how to paint buy a gun and play with it. Fixing fenders, hood and stuff is easy. Just get the parts and paint them. It might not be perfect but its an excuse to learn.

What are the details of the cutlass? I would be interested in the rear end if it is 8.5"

trust me thats completely repairable.
I hit a minivan last winter bent the frame and all.
I bought a $500 parts car got the frame straightened and got the parts painted.
Put hoopty doopty back together again.
$800 out of pocket later and shes back on the road.
Sad part is i only paid $900 for the whole car.

It doesnt even really look that bad IMO I have seen much worse that were fixed from deer collisions. Infact my dad (does bodywork for a living) just brought home a car that looks like its totalled from a deer but hes fixing it.

Looks fixable
