Tonight on the way home from work , I had the misfortune to be run off the road. Bounced off the guard rail and finally got stopped. Its dark so I dont know the total extent of the damage as of yet. I will have to get the car to a body shop to see how bad the frame is. Looks like I will need a door with glass and mirror, side marker lamps for the right side. I may have some front right suspension damage. I will know more tomorrow in the day light. I am ok.

Glad you're OK, sorry about the damages to your car
\D

Yes, the important thing is you're okay.
Check with Paul aka Tha_Driver for any parts you need. He also does GREAT body work.
-
Indeed. Glad you're okay.
Don and Ashby usually have some parts on hand, too.

Thank you all. After taking off the front wheel, looks like I will be needing a upper control arm. The lower looks fine. I may as well do a suspension up grade at this time as all the bushings on the car are the original ones that came on the car. Under the car looks ok , no damage to anything else. I will need to center the wheels and the steering wheel when I take it all apart. So, I need a passenger door with glass and mirror (all manual by the way), right side marker lamps (front and rear) and an upper control arm, and a right front quarter panel. All to fit a 85 SE .

I can help with body parts, but I don't have the suspension. Some folks may be coming by tomorrow; you might want to hook up with them. http://gafieroclub.org/bbs/index.php?topic=1309.0

Today , I got the right front end taken apart and replaced the upper and lower control arms. Along with this, I am up-grading to poly bushings. So, I will be doing all plus the cradle over the rest of this winter. With the right side done, the wheel lined back up to where I do believe that getting an alinement done put my car back to normal again. Started working on the body panels also and the door. Thank you everyone for your well wishes and support.

So, Got the front suspension all back together. Did the hidden radio antenna mod. ( I never did like the antenna where the factory put it) Got most of the door frame sheet metal straightened out. After Christmas, I will be working on getting the door back together. (All those bent rods and clips for the door lock and handle.) Then the rear end gets all new bushings and ball joints. I should have it ready for paint about spring at the rate Im moving.
