Before and After Car Wreck Repairs

Turns out that, despite appearances, our car wasn't totaled as we'd feared. Costs to get it running were less than $1,000, and the person we had an accident with decided to file a claim instead of maybe having us cover it out-of-pocket to keep everybody's insurance premiums from going up. It still made about half of my "invest in a good DSLR" fund go up in smoke, but we are not financially screwed after all. And the car's now much easier to find in a parking lot (there are way too many silver cars on the road, and they all look alike).

Before Repair:
After Accident, Before Fixing - Right

After Accident, Before Fixing - Left

After Repair:
Fixed after accident

Our car is now 5% Geo Metro.
