So, about 10:30 friday night a deer decided to tackle the whole
left side of my car, total buzz kill.

I know I'm going to fix the poor S chassis, but I'm
undecided. Do I just repair the damage or "restore"
the whole car? I know it needs a fender, quarter panel
and possibly driver's door. I already have replacement
quarter panels that I already planned on installing this
late fall through winter.

Your opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Pics to come early next week.

Thanks everyboby.

If there is that much damage i would restore it.

I think that is what I'm gonna do, as I said, I've
already got replacement QP's. Luckily, I was
able to drive it to the shop where I work.
Had to pull the left QP a little by hand.
But the drivetrain and suspension systems
seem to be working fine still thank god.

Dawm deer,did the deer make it,only reason i ask is because . I have had almost the same thing happen to me, then a few nights later the same deer was in my back yard

I'm not sure what happened to the deer, lol.
Hit her on the highway going through Richmond city.
There were a bunch of cars on the road though,
so if she made it further into the road she probably got nailed
again.

Sorry to hear man. No images of the deer attack?

I'll have some up tomorrow about this time.

Well that took a bit to figure out, lol, but
here she is.




No damage to Seibon hatch so at least that's a score!

Funny, those S14 wheels don't loom to bad with the proper spacing.

When Deers Attack! Needs to be the title of this thread aye?

Yea, attack they do!
I went by the scene this evening and I saw no carcass.

I thought the S14 wheels looked way better on the S13 than
they did on my S14. Which I totaled about this time 2 years ago
on the same road as the deer attack, come to think of it'
that was on a friday, too.

Sooo, JWT is now making bell housing adapters for the KA to accept the VQ six speed tranny.
Anybody else see that?
Awesome

How affordable are the vq trannies though?

The article I read was printed by DSport they claim
a VQ tranny can be had for around $1700. I assume that
is a junk yard unit. They were saying you also would
need a bell housing for an automatic. And some other
bits and pieces. Pretty exciting though.
