Mathieu -
First, glad to hear that the driver came through OK. But the damage really
doesn't look that hard to repair, assuming the door frames aren't distorted.
By missing the bumper, the energy was absorbed by the fender sheet metal,
from what I can see - which would mean that the frame and bumper supports
are still pretty much in alignment. What I see from the pictures is a left
rear fender, trunklid, and under the trunk sheetmetal. I acquired an '83SD
with similar damage, and a very good body shop made it look like new for
under 2.5K!
With the insurance payout, you could end up with a very nice car - one that
you know, have invested in, and probably better than what you can find on
the market.
Werner
