I just got into a wreck with my car i got hit from behind at a red light, slammed into a van then into a fire hydrant. my car has 11,500 in damage. i got a bent rear frame rail, the convertable top is crinkled up and my car needs 1 new door, 4 1/4 panels, trunk, hood, and other damage. engine ,trans,and rear end are ok. The ins. co. said we have to fix it so im stuck. they are gonna give me a whole new frame rail though not just straighten the bent one. and they are going to use new ford parts on everything else and even through in a Free GT bumper. I have no choice but to accept what they are doing. whats everyones opinon on if it will drive the same after it is fixed, and most of all will it be worth what is was worth before the accident seeing as how they are putting the best parts back into it? Sorry no pics yet i will get them soon. Thanks
