Got it back and it was still a perfect car. Really all depends on the angel of the hit. Mine was headlights and upwards kind of hit, so was nothing mojor, mostly just radiator support panels and what nothttp://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...e=post&id=72826Good luck with everything mate, hope insurance company sorts you out nice a quickly.Keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
