Sorry I never got around to getting pics up before. In a new place now and got internet hooked up. So here is the aftermath.

Car was moved a few feet. but it stayed on the jack stands. The motor was moved about 10 feet and the cherry picker went through a wall. We are all okay, adjusting back to normal. I had the car about 11 years, I will miss her gave it to someone from our local Nissan group and hope he can restore it cause I just can't right now.

Damn that's crazy. Glad you are doing okay now. That sure is going to cost a ton of money to get that thing to look fresh again.

Funny thing though, I had a dream last night there was a tornado in my area and I ran to the garage and hopped in my S13.5 (currently doesn't run). Tornado slung my ass around in the car but I survived. The car was in worse damage than seen in your pictures. My friend's helped restore it but I was like "its not the same... its just not the same!"

Looks better than some of the 'track' cars on here.

I hope all gets better for you and your family. I'm sure you will bounce back bigger and better than ever!
