This is the damage to the firewall from the fender hitting it.
DAMAGE PHOTOS
The fiberglass was broken through to the mirror, and the mirror was damaged.
The plastic bumper sprang back to shape, but I trimmed it shortly afterwards.
There was no doubt about how this happened when I took these pictures. This is why all drivers need to carry a disposable camera at all times....
I started the repair about 6 months later as the weather warmed to the point I could work on the short weekends. I fiberglassed in strengthening slats underneath, fiberglassed the exterior, then bondo'd up the final shape. I could not get it all done on one weeking, so it looked this way a while..
