Had an accident about 1 month ago vehicle cut in front of truck in front of me then slammed on brakes as did the pickup in front of me. I locked up brakes and steered to the left of the truck but struck his left rear with my right front. Speed was about 15. At moment of impact my front bumper flew off going up in the air. The back seat went airborne hitting the back of my head. No injuries but at first glance damage didn't appear too bad. After starting the tear down found the RF fender bent back to the bracket, RF axle bent about 20 degrees, right front wheel 3 broke spokes and rim badly bent, Radius rod bent, clutch housing shattered, flywheel housing shattered and the transmission input shaft bearing retainer in two pieces.
Starting a complete rebuild and paint a little earlier than I intended.
