From what i here from impact it destroyed bumper,hood,both fenders and both doors.You can allmost guess that the rad,turbo,front suspention,and possibly the front of the crank are hurt too.
From what I was told it did not brush the wall,it turned hard and had a front impact.

sorry i havent been online, been fighting this damn cold..corey is ok, wrist hurts a little bit but not broken or anything...left front spindle sfat broke off of the spindle about the 400 ft mark..when it broke the tire shot up into the wheel well and the bumpsteer dug into the asphalt and shot the car hard left...front bumper cover, drivers fender, turbo, radiator, brakes, spindles and k member are trashed, drivers door has a 2" gash in it but is fixable, hood is pretty bad but fixable also. bumper cover is dust...pass fender and door are ok..we already started ordering parts for it and have started some legal actions against the manufacturer of the spindles since where they broke it appears to be just poor welding practices..

Good luck with a lawsuit on a manufacturer, especially on anything used for aftermarket applications. Those guys cover their asses pretty good on stuff like that.

Just glad no one got hurt, cars can be fixed.
