Hey I wrecked my car Wednesday I was headed to work and it was raining pretty bad, I was passing this car, I was in the left lane and I hit a puddle of water and hydroplaned my car started over towards that car beside me so I turned to keep from hitting the car and when I did it ran off the road on the left side when it did that it scared me and I jerked it back to the right I went right in front of the car beside me spun all the way around off the road on the right side and off into a revine I took out two small trees and a **** load of bushes and hit a tree at the bottom of the revine. I warped my back left rim, Took off my rear bumper, put a big dint in my left rear fender, it wrinkled up my hatchback and busted all my brake lights out It is still driveable as soon as I get a new rim. Here is a picture of it:



Weird thing is that the nest night after that happened my dad hit a deer with his truck on the way back from hunting

If anyone knows where I can get a car like it cheap or a back clip cheap or any of the parts I need (Hatchback, left and right rear fender, passenger headlight, passenger door, rear bumper) This may sound corny but I feel empty without my car....

Sorry to hear that. I lost my 92 like that but the road was frosted instead of raining. Also kind of ironic your dad returning from hunting and hitting a dear. Good luck finding another.

Yea he was deer hunting, said he shot at a deer that day and missed, and on the way home he hit a 6 point buck..... Well that put diner on the table : I havent been to any junk yards yet but I have been looking around on the internet for body parts and all I can find is front fenders. The rear fenders look like they come off in one piece, does anyone know for sure? Also I was thinking this would be a good time to get a body kit for it, does anyone know of a body kit that includes front and rear fenders?

The problem is that rear fenders don't really come off, they are part of the roof structure. You either have to have them cut off and have new ones welded on, or repair them while on the car. Sorry to hear about the accident, be carefull out there. Hope you get it fixed up.
