Well, crap. crying

Last night and continuing even right now, a nasty wind/rain storm that might as well have been a hurricane has been slamming the Northeast. My office was closed because there's no power there, so I've been working from home. I heard a loud bang and crash from the backyard, and... yeah. 

So, this project is basically over. The roof is bent at the C-pillar and the quarter is trashed along with the trunk lid. Now I have to get it out of my own yard. sad

No, I was going to put it on the road in a few weeks. I actually just ordered a bunch of tune-up parts for it too.

That seriously blows. Vut theres gotta be a way through it to make something positive. 

 

Also, is it possible to claim on homeowners insurance?

That did cross my mind, but at this point, I'd rather cash out and move on. I can re-focus all my wrenching time on other projects.

If anyone wants to buy the whole thing for parts, I posted it up in the classifieds. sad

If it doesn't sell in the next few weeks, I'll just part it out and scrap the shell. I'm sure I can make my money back on it either way. 

One thing I've learned with this project is that I like Saabs, especially the 9-5. I am keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap 9-5 wagon to possibly replace this.
