Default Deer vs. First gen

Here's what a direct hit at 70 or so mph looks like.

from what I see, radiator and inter cooler are toast, lights, grill, bumper and bumper supports, and the fan shroud is missing a big chunk. overall not as bad as I thought it would be, now lets hope the insurance company doesn't decide to total it

Let them total it, buy it back for almost nothing, fix it for a couple hundred bucks and buy bombs with whats left.

no, it's really not too bad.

what I see it needs.

grills, parking light, fan shroud, headlight bezel, that whole big front plasichrome piece, block heater cord, intercooler, radiator, bumper, the brackets that hold the bumper, and possibly a core support.. depends on if they can tweak it.
