Club Member Scott Brown in accident. Needs our help

[Fierofool]

One of our long time members, Scott Brown from Dawsonville was in an accident.  He's OK and apparently uninjured, but his truck is out of commission.  He was struck pretty solidly by an approaching car that took the whole drivers side of the quad cab truck.  The truck is not driveable and suffered pretty extensive damage.  As a result, Scott has no transportation.  Due to the slowdown in the housing construction industry, he's been having a difficult time.

You may know that he has an 86Se that he's been trying to sell.  Well, now that needs to be his primary transportation, but it isn't streetable.  I've asked him to make a list of the things that need to be done to it in order for him to get it on the road. 

I'd like for us to make a trip to Dawsonville on March 20 and have a tech day of putting his car back together.  It will need to be good weather since he doesn't have a garage. 

Who's willing to jump in and help out?

I can't be therE but I am sure part are going to be needed. Anyway I can paypal the club a donation to help cover some parts. I can't give too much but I can see what I can come up with.

Thats the same day as our meeting, but I'll see if I can get everybody up for a drive instead and come down and help. No promises but I'll see what I can do.

I might be able to go.

From what I understand all it needs is the insides put back together and a 4 wheel alignment. Then it's road worthy.

Thanks guys. TO let everyone know, everyone involved in the accident walked away. I just happened to be at the wrong place at the right time. After looking over my truck today, I think it will be totaled out. Which means that GEICO will be writing me a nice big check. I am going to attempt to put some pictures up here, no guarantees that I will be successful.

As far as the car goes, I have my list scanned in and I will try to put it up, too. All that I am really asking for is everyone's time, I am  pretty sure that I have all the parts needed to put it back together. I am really not looking for money. Let me see if I can get the pictures to work:

That doesn't look any worse than my truck did after someone t-boned me in '04, not long after I had bought the thing. After the body shop at Stone Mtn. Ford got through with it, you couldn't even tell it had been hit. (Yes, I'm talking about that red truck in my driveway, which some of you have seen. I bet you didn't know it had been in a wreck.)

Scott sent me this todo list:

Scott sent these pictures:

I think this is the car that hit him.

The truck doesn't look as bad in these pics as in the phone pic he sent me.  Can't say as much for the lady's van, though. 

Looking over the list, some of the things are cosmetic, but the things I think it will need at a minimum to get it on the road are:

Repair horn
Replace cruise control stalk.
Install interior trim & console
Install passenger door glass hardware and hinges.
Install drivers door skin.
Replace drivers fender.
