Thanks Tom am new to this stuff, film is being developed. I should be able to get the cd pic on here, lacking deep computer skills. Had a closer look today,the tele-pole just missed the right side front subframe and peeled back the lower control arm.Looking fwd. from the rear tires I may be luckey as it still appears "straight'. A local MB guy says he can hook me up w/the tin. The hatch,2 rear and drivers still shut nicely, the r. pass is being pinched by the frt. fender. I'm cautiously optimistic IF I can get her in my buddies garage for a day with an air rachet and torch should make quick work of the autopsy, Thanks, Da King
