Another One Bites The Dust...
Hello all,
I'm afraid I've finished off my X by tipping it over on the driver side last Friday night. It came down pretty hard off a hillside doing significant damage to the "A" pillar, cowl, and roof in the front driver corner. All driver side sheet metal is toast too.
So now I need to figure out whether to part it out, sell what's left in whole or keep it to swap the good stuff out when I get a new one, which I'd like to do.
Any advice? Any clue regarding a range of $$ if I cold sell the whole thing?
It is a 2001 7.3 Limited, White/Tan, 196k mi, minor lift kit, Superchip programmed, Rancho adjustable shocks, stainless exhaust, hard floor trays, good tires-stock wheels and ran good before I did this. It looks like it is in much better shape than the '02 'Sunline Fan' bought, but still wrecked.
Any words of wisdom will help.
Thanks,
Dave

It's all my nickle now, since I had no collision coverage, just lib and comp.

OUCH!
Sorry to hear about your truck....
I would keep it, transfer the goodies to the new one, share the wealth with your fellow FTE'rs.
You'll get some cash back and you'll know that the parts of your old truck are going to a good home.
Let us know what you decide....

Thanks for the replies guys and well wishes! It is hard to think straight when in shock from an event like this. If I do get another it certainly makes sense to use what I have left over then part the rest.
Yes, it happened Tim, here is a pic. Doesn't look all that bad at first glance but the A pillar and firewall/dash is tweaked pretty good, roof buckled at front, whole left side is pushed in a bit, entire cab shows signs at a few of the door seems. The fiberglass carrier on top was untouched as well as passenger side. Cost to repair... more than worth, and I don't have a frame rack to tie it to.

If I lived at the beach a convertible would be fun but it have to be a GTO, Fairlane or Caddy.
