So sorry about the car. Glad all will be OK. I just recieved my back issues of Viper Qtrly and enjoyed reading the article about you in one past issue. I love the tatoo!!
HORRORS, Nadine. Sorry for your {temporary} loss of a loved one.
That crosspiece first hits the water pump, bottom dead center, and bends the shaft assy. New Water Pump and pulley.
Usually breaks P/S pulley on left side....but pump usually is OK !
The crosspiece can be readily replaced.....as will the Radiator core support, radiator, and facia and paraphernalia. Oil cooler and lines. Etc.
Chances are, no permanent damage was done to the motor, due to your quick thinking. Check the timing chain case cover.
See if the motor mounts bent....or the cast motor mounts "bosses" on the block are OK. Hope so...
Check the Oil Filter Adapter (oil filter scrwes on) is not broken off .... or leaking.
Nadine, if you need counselling, please call me any evening, your time? Ill be happy to begin assembling your needs, once your private STASH is depleted !
Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery

As a fellow member of the crash club, I offer my sincere condolences. I know how much your snake ment to you, but I'm glad it took the punishment instead of you.
My friend at the body shop told me that my car (which sounds like it was hit almost exactly like yours) was easily fixable, just expensive in part replacements. So if you want your baby whole, it should be possible for the beast to be as good as before. You can make it better, stonger, faster...
Good luck and keep your spirits up.

Nadine,
Glad to hear you were alright. It is comforting to know that out of all the wrecks that have been posted in the recent months no one has been seriously injured. I think some credit needs to be given to the design of our snakes.
I have been going thru an extensive re-build of the front end of my '98 GTS. If you have any questions or need any advise, please send me an e-mail. Just look as this as an opportunity to upgrade from the stock parts.
I also might have some parts you will need.
Good luck,
Anthony

So sorry to hear of your boy's injuries Nadine. Glad to hear that he got the best of the idiot that tried to tangle with him!
As you know well know your buddy is in good hands with JonB. You have the right attitude (which is half the battle at least).
While my snake has not had an incident yet I have been through the pain with a much lesser vehicle and the best medicine for all concerned is to return him to his prior state ASAP!
Don't overlook the chances to make him stronger than ever...

Last Sunday was my first, and hopefully only ever experience of airbags being deployed. These things strike like a coiled snake, they drew blood, and left two fang-like marks on the nose!!
It's a painful time for me right now...I had a car without indicating, pull out, straight in front of my Beloved GTS, the love of my life. The crash was a big and bad one, luckily all persons involved walked away physically with just cuts and bruises. Considering the car that pulled into my path, went into a roll, taking another vehicle out, and ended upside-down, it's a miracle nobody was killed.
Seeing Beloved scraped up onto a truck in bits, almost killed me. He's suffered extensive damage, including to his front chassis, and front pulleys broken on the engine where the Ali cross-member got pushed back so far. I switched off ignition quick, but can anyone advise me please, as to if you think I could have any internal engine damage done?
I will do what ever it takes...my Beloved is going to be rebuilt, and he will be making the journey to Europe / Le Mans, next year with the rest of the UK region.
Safe Vipering to all owners, there are some idiots on the roads out there, I pray to God nobody ever has to face the torture of seeing your Viper hurt.

Gee, what a bad fourth quarter this has been. Cars are dropping like flies lately. So glad you at least walked away from something that sounds like it was pretty bad.
Hmmm, during the bad boy's down time, maybe you need to come back over here and get a driving fix from some of OUR cars. Don't you know..... I'll bet a LOT of us would give you some time behind the wheel! Take care, and let us know if there's anything we can do to help!

Tons of thanks to you all. Your replys have fueled my strength to deal with my broken heart, and broken GTS.
I have already been through a rebuild several times over in my head. He will be stronger than ever.
I have to sob, at the moment coolant is seeping from him...green coloured fluid is running out from beneath his garage door, my wounded solider is bleeding! But, he will soon be breathing again!!

Courage, Nadine, courage. Terrible news about your mishap, but excellent that you survived relatively untouched. So I guess I'm happy and sad for you. Good luck with the rebuild!!
