I hope everyone’s ok

Sliders did well. I’m concerned about the front wheel, there’s likely some suspension damage too
 
Susp. Needed upgrading anyway, just hope frame and the rest is ok.

Be sure to check the frame. She got you good for sure. I'm glad you're ok - this sucks for sure.

Those BB sliders are amazing. With that said, they definitely will transfer her impact into your driver side frame rail. I don't know how to check it, but make sure your frame is still square.

Godspeed.
 
Oh, man... :( Sucks to see a fellow HE damaged like this. I gotta say it does not look good from a frame standpoint. Hope I am wrong. Is that an F150? She was probably speeding as well...that damage does not match with a stop sign cross speed limit.
 
In all honesty, I’m not sure I’d want to have it repaired. There was a large amount of energy transferred under that A-pillar. I’ve seen worse repaired for collectible sports cars - but the repair efforts were beyond meticulous. It’s hard to get a normal repair shop to go to that level for newer vehicles. I’d very likely be pushing for payout and then pickup another one that’s not been in an accident.
 
That looks like an F-150 Lightning that hit you. I believe that vehicle weighs more than your 200. I'd be looking for a payout and buy a new to you HE. The comps should only be for HE's, as you know. Sorry about that, man. I'm glad you're okay.

This was estimated at $60K to fix. It was a 2013 so totaled and then some.

More than 1/2 the cost was the front fender. Lots of structural inner fender that is all welded. Body shops don’t want this kind of work.
 
I know what everybody else is saying but to me that looks like it could be fixed . Now whether or not you wanted fixed it is a whole different ball game.

That'd make a heck of a wheeler. Cut off all that bad sheet metal. Tube fenders and doors...
