thanks for the best wishes, JCD--
Yeah, take a look at the middle photo. The lower door hinge took a lot of force but didn't bend or break.

Not only that, the doors open and close normally on the passenger side of the car.

the B-pillar did move about 4" inward, but showed no signs of breaking or buckling. These are truly tough cars!
