DrD123 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Back when I lived in TX, I got hit by a moron that decided to take a right into a parking lot from the left lane into traffic (sadly, I had the misfortune of being the "traffic" next to her at the time) - she was complaining of all sorts of injuries as well... police officer said he'd seen that before - clearly a case of State Farmitis... the lady went bananas when they wrote her a ticket for her classy traffic maneuver - it was precious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxrider28 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 So as some of you 5th gen folks already know back in April I had a pretty gruesome accident nearly totaling my LGT. Surprisingly insurance covered the $9543 repair minus my deductible of $500. Well as promised here are the photos of before during and after the surgery.

Surprisingly insurance covered the $9543 repair minus my deductible of $500. Yikes - not sure I'd be cool with that. Looks like they cut the side clean off a different car - maybe in the drip rail? (I don't see any drilled welds in that region, so maybe cut across with a nibbler or similar?) - to simplify things, but there are a lot of structural tie-ins between the rails across the roof and across the floor/trunk that have been compromised. Looks like they kept a stub from two of the roof rails to easy assembly, but those parts are supposed to be solid all the way across, not welded a bit in from the end... would have made more sense to me to just drill the welds at the a-pillar (maybe just the outer part, since the inner reinforcement only goes a third or so up the pillar - about where it looks mushed in the before pic - and probably could have been saved) - hopefully it holds together ok!

Before: During: After: First off just want to say that I'm glad and hope that your ok and no one was hurt. Also. That is the first time I've seen a GT cut in half!! Wow hope everything still feels the same but I'm sure if they went that far with the repair they have done a great job! Enjoy and drive safe!

foxrider28 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah the pics are astonishing, if it was $500 more it would of been totaled. It does look like they just chopped it off however the other pics of the repair that I don't have show much more detail of how it actually came apart and went back in. The part trashed in the accident is not something you can section, they are uni-sides which are one solid piece and it's more work to take that thing apart and piece it back in plus it was a little out of square around both the doors so I'm glad they replaced the whole side, also the delaminated/glued brace in the old door that creates the hollow thud sound, like a bunch of the 2010s have, is gone so I get a solid sound when shutting the door now. IMO seeing all the repair photos and trusting multiple opinions from friends with auto body backgrounds, it's no different then factory except for the front roof brace which was the only weld outside the factory welds and the way they did that is actually better then I expected. They actually added a couple plates to the brace to add strength and they did more welds on the uni-side then the factory does along with more glue, or whatever it is, that covers the welded areas. As far as I can tell the car is no different then it was prior to the accident except for my out of balance front wheel that they repainted because of curb rash that's been there since I bought the car. I just wish I had the extra money to have them go ahead and repaint the entire car, but it see gravel roads daily so I'm not too worried about the paint honestly.

02LGTSNJ Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 My passenger side door makes that hollow thud sound, I was honestly thinking the previous owner was dishonest about the accident history and the sound was from the vehicle being repaired in some way. So, clear it up for me, whats up with that hollow thud sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, clear it up for me, whats up with that hollow thud sound? Apparently something inside the front passenger door was poorly adhered together and it comes apart creating the hollow sound. I believe they fixed it in the later models. Idk what year car the replacement door is from but it definitely doesn't sound hollow like the original door did.

02LGTSNJ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 On my way home from work yesterday, about 2 minutes from home, a knucklehead in a giant ford expedition decides to pull out way too early and clipped the whole passenger side rear of my beloved LGT. He was issued a failure to yield ticket, so no fault here, now just have to wait and see how his insurance (Progressive) will handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was issued a failure to yield ticket, so no fault here, now just have to wait and see how his insurance (Progressive) will handle it Aww man this sucks, hopefully they don't have to do the same thing that was done to mine because the rear quarter is part of the uni-side. They may get away with cutting and welding back in the damaged section. If not and they quote the whole uni-side it may include a new front passenger door that no longer sounds hollow. Again hope it is an easy repair and the GT stays on the road. As for my luck I was ran off the road by a woman in a CRV yesterday because she was too busy staring at a helicopter trimming trees on the next road which is why I had to detour to that road anyway. She came around a blind curve on my side of the road and still didn't get over after I barely was able to swerve into a driveway which was where I hit a trash can with the mirror, well it was half in the road too, it ended up breaking my brand new mirror housing but the covers didn't have a scratch on them. I had no ground to stand on filing a police report because she took off even with my horn blowing full blast and me screaming out the window "pay the f**k attention" but she was too mesmerized by the helicopter so apparently I didn't exist. But instead of replacing the mirror AGAIN, I just put some JB Weld on it for now until I can get another damn mirror from a junkyard. This is actually the 2nd time since I've got my car back that I've almost been hit head on and it's not even been a month yet.

GTEASER Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Sorry to hear this. Looks similar to the damage from my rearending several years ago. Most likely a quarter panel skin and small portion of trunk box. Hopefully the suspension is all good.

02LGTSNJ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Its especially a bummer when it not your fault. Everyone is always in such a rush nowadays, what happened yesterday should've never happened, I had a green turning arrow for god sake. His expedition didnt even have a scratch on it, the extent of his damage was his license plate falling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
