Looks like the damage was limited the backside and corner.... glad the glass didn’t pop.
I think someone ELSE injured it, didn’t they??
I’d see if you can straighten and smooth the valance before getting another..... you’ll probably have to massage a new one anyway...if it’s too far gone, I might have an extra. Too bad you’re not near californiajohnny- between the two cars you—— oh, maybe better I think that through..... lol |

unfortunately i did it or actually the rain, one of those crazy intense pop up showers out of nowhere , wall of water, cant see and the front end goes left with no warning, turn in to it and the rear comes around and gone....and bounce of the concrete barrier on the expressway The valance has a hole where the frame came thru, what i really need is the bumper and possibly the taillight bucket

Ouch... glad you’re ok.... Do you need the all-red lense or the one with the black edges?

Lot of damaged cars lately. Hate to see it. Are you going to do the body work on it?

It will be a beauty once again. Definitely worth fixing as there are so few left nowadays.

That is a beautiful Torino and I agree it needs to be fixed. The Q-Code 4-speeds are probably the most desirable cars, and if yours came with the competition suspension, 2B red paint, and a laser stripe, that makes it even more desirable. This might be the opportunity to put the laser stripe back on the car too since they now make decent repros. Start a project thread on your car so we can follow along the repairs. There are lots of talented people here that can help you out along the way.
