First accident: minor
1 Attachment(s)
Got into my first accident today due to ice, no one was hit just my car. Anyways I fish tailed after a turn on some ice in markham country area while goign to the new super walmart. the car slid over onto a curb or ditch i would say and my front lip was demolished, and the lower bar under the mid section T bar i think was bent. the lower bar also bent a metal tube that connects to the radiator and hood latch.
Anyways my question is the only immediate damage that i want to get fixed is the radiotorlip that connects to the radiotor hose, will something overheat and explode, or as long as its not spurting out coolant is it ok? Attachment 43489 |
nothing to worry about
|
where is Markhan?
|
yeah......i wouldn't worry about it. if the car is still running the same before the accident. i'd wait until the rad needs to changed for whatever reason to fix that. just easier that way IMO.
|
good to know that it was minor jeff...and damn you...why were you driving with that lip anyway? that lip was done so nicely.
|
i hate the car without a lip was gonna jus leave it on for winter, and in the summer get the spoon, so it was the winter lip i guess. ya i guess i gotta get the stuff checked out and all.
Damn im scared to find out the cost of the damage. as the bottom bar is bent in like 6-8 inches from where it is supposed to be and the hood as well bc of the hood latch needs to get aligned as some piping in front of the rad is bent up. well i guess it comes with having a car, maintenance, and repairs |
Hey bro, my car was probably involved in a more major accident similiar to you from the previous owner. My radiator etc was pushed in but I drove it without any problem. The only downside to it was that if I was ever involve in another frontal accident again that the radiator will be more prone to being damaged. Eventually I paid to have the frame straightened out.

Hood has been aligned little better after adjusting the latch and bolts. Replacement Lip for the winter for $60 its a steal. Probaably wont bother painting it.
