Very sorry! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This is every 914 owners nightmare.

I think Rich Botempi at HPH had a few stray metal fenders for sale earlier this year. He may be able to sell you what you need.

Not looking good. But, more important: how are you? Unharmed?

Have the body checked before you start the repair: are things still straight/square?

fwiw, I have this 1975 914 in Delaware that I would let go for $2000, no engine no trans, keeping it otherwise for a future suby conversion, just thought i'd throw that out there.

That definitely sucks. I hope that it is all just simple (well you know what I mean) sheet metal damage and replacement. Lots of parts out there to get it right again. Hopefully the truck driver was licensed, insured, etc.

That sucks. Hope the insurance comes through for you.

I've seen this car in person and it is (was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)) immaculate.

Glad you are OK and seemingly the tub isn't bent. When I got hit years ago by a lying drunk douchebag, a PCA appraisal was helpful in educating the insurance company that the car shouldn't be totaled. They paid enough to fix the main damage and then I kicked-in extra to have the whole car properly resprayed.

That’s pretty bad but it is fixable. Same thing happened to me last year.
