We I was out Driving (I'm a Tour Bus Driver) when my Dad calls my cell(He owns the company), and says I backed a bus into your car, we'll get you a new paint job. oh well can't be bad, get a new paint job out of it. I'm just getting a new windsheild in it, and it will be plated after 4 months of working on getting it saftied(I'm not made of money so it taken me awhile). so as I'm driving to the shop I'm thinking" I'll have a new paintjob for the Calgary show this summer" and start fealing a bit better. Then I open my shop door and.........

Ouch! That might need a drop or two of body filler before the paint-job.

Now I know it was an acciddent, and my father feels real bad, I know he and I will get it fixed up, But talk about that feeling of getting kicked in the NUTS!

PS. The bus is not one of ours, the guy ways parking it there today, there was NO damage done to the the bus.

gonna take me awhile to figure out what to do to fix it.

Ah, no worries, there's a ton of free notchie clips everywhere.

thats pic lookin down teh side looks like the frame is bent at the pillar there

Uhhh...... I'm speechless!!! Get over here, I got cold beer and burgers waiting for you to drown your sorrows!

Any way to claim this on insurance? ou probably weren't plated yet, were you?

I think your rims are damaged too as well as the springs.
It will be cheeper to get a set of 17's and lowering springs.

I'm sorry about your car and I truely hope everything works out well for you but, I couldn't help but chuckle a little when I read the statement above .

It could have been worse... If he'd started up the hood instead of the quearter panel....

I feel bad for you... my car was backed into the other day and I was pissed... I'm just thankful it wasn't a bus. But hey, when it does get fixed I'm sure the new paint will look crazy and you'll be motivated to do a few more things that you would have otherwise not considered.

Why couldn't he have backed into you with a sedan like everyone else...

Ouch, man, that's tough but I have to say thei before someone else does. "That'll probably just buff out!" I have heard that after a few of the those gut-punch deals and it only funny after I get it fixed. BTW, it is hard to tell from the pics but I don't think that is frame damage under the pillar. It looks more like the skin pulled away from the pillar. Hope so anyway. Best of luck.

Wow, that sucks... My condolences. Are those tire marks how far the car was shoved by the bus? Keeerrrrrunch!

I have a notchback clip, quater panel, and 4 stock fiero rims with new tires if you want them. You can contact me if I'm close enought to you to make it practical to pick them up. (free)

A big Thanks to all thoughs that are willing to help! big "+" for you. crzyone I'll be geting a hold of you, luvsdonuts Thanks for the Offer but New York would kill me for Frieght.

I'm going to start taking the panels off tommorrow, so I'll post picks of any other damage.

Yes the bus pushed it 7 feet. It was light out side and dark inside so he could not see in(he was backing in) and he would not have felt it or heard it.

well, at least he stopped when he did, it woulda been real easy to smush it into that other bus, then you'd have a clown car kinda deal. cheer up, itll be okay

Shoot me an e-mail if you want them. The parts are off of a coupe which is too bad I can't give you a bumper as well. The car is 30 minutes north of Edmonton. Should be a decent drive to get the parts

Here is a picture of the car, too bad its silver but I guess your getting a new paintjob anyways

I can see why you work outside, sure is a small garage!

ug - by the skid marks, looks like it was pushed for a few feet before someone noticed a problem
truly a bummer.....

Well just a update.

Went out to the junkers and found half a clip. being that its Fiberglass I'm going to glass the new part in. I'll keep you post on my new adventure (not like I NEEDED a new one!)

the picture shows the cut marks in red to show you what I'm working with.

I'll post some recent pics soon.
