Unhappy I killed it!

This car, that is..... poor thing started out as a brand spankin new 2008 Ford Fusion, 4cyl 5 speed manual, and zero miles. I pulled it in and it still had that nice new car smell inside when I got in, everything was spotless, plastic on all the seats, and 2 plastic bags in the trunk, one with floormats and the other with the hubcaps. Only damage was a dent in the RR bumper corner, and the RF fender was dented pretty good. But that was about it.

Then we went to work.... EVERYTHING came out. Here were the end results (sorry for the crappy camera phone pics.... it was all I had on me)


Front clip was sold, so off it went


LR quarter panel was also sold, so it went too


And this was all that remained of the brand new car



This isn't the only brand new Ford we have... got about 120 of them total (many have already been taken apart). These cars and trucks came off of a train derailment incident from awhile back.... some were lightly damaged, whereas others were damaged so badly that we couln't even get the engines out, and ended up sending them to the crusher motors and all. Funny thing, several months back all of these cars were at the body shop of the dealer I worked at previously... I remember seeing them all there when I worked there

I'm assuming Ford (or the insurance co.) mandates them to be crushed?
