The eggcrate to a similar hit only the door pillar took more of it and it didn't touch any of the suspension, that was probably early in its life and Im finally getting the last of the bent sheetmetal out of it now in its restoration.

Hey All! Just want to say hi! We have been real busy and haven't been able to check in with the list. Not sure if I told you but my daughter got T-Boned by a Ford Taurus. Everyone was ok physically. The Type3 held up really well. Better than I expected. Nicole was completely spun around. Luckily it was the passenger side. I think it would have been worse for her if it was the drivers side. She was really disappointed when she thought the insurance was going to total it. Good news is they gave us more than enough money to fix it. Looks good again now (see pictures by clicking link below). Now if I could just find a rear view mirror and some carriage bumper Bolts.
