Update 1/5/09- Accident. Heres the story. I was driving down the Southfield Freeway service drive on the way to Fairlane Mall and someone driving a black escape runs a red light and i run into his right rear end. He fled the scene and I chased him but couldnt keep up so he got away. Heres the damage. The entire front end is trashed.
Completely gone.
Hood is damaged
Bumper is smashed in.
The Radiator was pushed up against the fan.
Fan blade struck the radiator and cut a hole in it. This happened 2 days after the accident.
The bumper pushed the right fender back past the door and I cant open the passenger door.
Hood doesn't close all the way.
This is my first truck its a 93 Dakota LE with 5.2l MAGNUM V8
Its new paint my dad got it painted from the stock green and theres no surface rust. Im thinking about a gloss black
5.2l Magnum V8 no mods yet.
It was a Arizona truck which explains the dust and its still dirty cause its winter and its cold but when it warms up Ill clean it.
Clarion radio came with the truck thanks dad. im going to get the wood grain carbon fibered
Its got 115444 miles on it and the fuel gauge doesn't work if anybody has any suggestions please respond thanks.
The carpets bad and the dash is suncracked but Ill get all that fixed and sprayed black.
Thinking of removing the seats and fabricating my own monster system you know 12" subs and more.
Its a little bit cleaner.
Heres some pics without the shell.
