@ricochet1490 -
You have great intentions... but that might not be feasble. Based on a SWAG that last picture shows a pretty significant bend in the A-Pillar support. The results of this crash *may* include the revoking of the vehicle's log book. It might be faster/cheaper/better to find a new shell and re-do the cage.

I'm probably looking into buying a salvage vehicle. A co-worker already has a countdown on my cubicle that says "44 Days until Black River Stages". So thats how long I have.

Ricochet, I appreciate the effort. However I bid on a salvage vehicle that i'm hoping to get. Within 1.5 hour drive, I'd have a whole donor car, which is really what I need to cut off the roof and rear quarter panel.
If I get it i'll post up pics, I'll know wednesday afternoon. I'd post a link to it but I dont want some joker here seeing the link and recognizing it's a good deal and outbidding me haha.

I was going to, but I had no windows haha. The glass from the new car is probably going in this week. Aside from paint i'm hoping to have this car turned around by the end of the weekend, excluding paint.
The godspeed radiator has been great for the price. Hasn't overheated, didnt crack during the roll even though things were pushed back into it. Probably luck more than anything, but it's without a doubt worth the money. No need to spend double the price on a KOYO or something like that.

Is she still straight? I'm amazed the car could survive that roll and be good as new with a little panel work
guess the cage has done its job then?

Yeah I think so drives straight, havent seen any bent control arms. Struts may need a rebuild, but they probably need rebuilt before this event anyways.

you would be surprised how strong the car is just as a shell. Even with no parts in it. it literally takes a front end collision at 40mph to even think about bending the frame rails in the engine bay...and that's the weakest frame section on the car because they're unsupported. A little rolling down a hill is childs play lol.

My entire car is also stitch welded on every seam, so along with the cage it's much stronger than your average chassis.

The last two pictures are very depressing. I'd hate to know how much time you have to take to measure everything out before cutting these cars apart. However, I'm in for more rally pictures!

hey you seem really good at this stuff ( all of the body work and glass removal) i take it you took the rear quarters off the doner car... do you have any pix on how to do that ( remove the rear quarter glass that is already installed on a car ) i was carrying some speakers in my car and one of em rolled over and smashed out my passenger quarter glass..
there are a few celicas around here in some pic-n-pulls but have no clue where to start on removing the part with out breaking it... any help would be great thank you....
oh and EFFING AWSOME WORK!!!!! no joke, every time i look at this thread it only inspires me, knowing that there are guys like you who actually USE there car, beat it up, and fix it rather than just replacing it when there is a small problem (or big)
keep up the good work man!!!
