Default i jumped the t/a

i was heading eastbound on hwy 674 yesterday bout 6:10 wen i went to pass this truck, so i put my blinker on and went to move over and he sped up, my ass end kicked out and i launched the car over the median, through the trees, and into another car. the officer got out the measuring stick and from were i hit the median til were i landed was 22ft, and witness said i could've jumped a street sign. so the autocross t/a is put on hold. i really need sum body panels now guys, so if ne one on here has ne 3rd gen 87 t/a body parts plz pm me let me know. pics of the aftermath will be up wen i have a lil bit more time.

If you really did all that, you need another thirdgen. Not body panels.

it seem to ride fine, i had to take another wheel off something else to get it home, and it was wobbling back and forth, so im thinkin i bent something in the front end. not sure wat it was, but i doubt the framing is bent. not sure yet, been sore, so i havnt fucked with it. im still tryin to get pics of it from the accident. fuck it, shit happens, i got a buddy with a 91 he is sellin me. so i will whip that.
