COLLISION - All fixed!, Original owner - 50k mile car Options

[tomeric914]

A client of mine was out driving his '74 with his son this afternoon traveling about 60mph on a 2 lane divided highway. There was another car behind him. Out of nowhere, a Corolla hit them in the driver's rear quarter at about 90mph spinning them 3 times. They were unhurt and the car never left the highway. He surmises that the Corolla was trying to make the exit ramp, overtook the first car and never saw the 914.

After the accident, the knucklehead in the Corolla says, "Don't worry, my insurance will cover it." Bloody genius (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . The good news is that my client has classic car insurance with an appraised value on the car.

What really sucks is that as of Tuesday of this past week, I had just finished getting the car 100% correct. Driving the car was like stepping back in time to a showroom new 914.

He is the original owner of the car, purchasing it new in 1974. It just rolled over 50k miles this year.

The good news is that the alignment was unaffected (verified by measurement) and all the damage occurred above the suspension console.

So the big question is, does anyone have or know where to find an NOS driver's rear fender?

I'd like to try and save the door, but that may not be possible.
