Sigh......
far as i can tell:
-bumper
-trunk hinges are screwed. looks like a rivet or two popped
-muffler.... not sure.. but have a feeling. sounds fine though.
-left tail light is lose. mount must of went.
-the space that holds the spare tire, the rear most part of the body is squished in slightely and is now propably holding the spare in place (it's definitely pushing on it)
-the alignment seems off. I really hope im just imagining it, cause I dont want a control arm to be bent)
that's about it i think.

Also; whats with the boxy bumper? Canada have different crash beam regulations then the US?

erm.... no the roof is fine. well hey, if the frame is f***ed I'm getting a new car 
But the corolla that impacted me did so slow enough that the airbags in didnt pop, so I'm assuming she hit me going under 25km/h.

Air bags are flakey sometimes and it depends on how you hit. In my 92 caprice I rear ended someone at 45MPH (~70KM/H) and the air bag didn't deploy.

so, north side mitsu had my car up on the lift yesterday... i think its mainly body damage (i snuk in and had a look) as everything is looking good except the metal bumper (#2 in the picture) is bent in and damaged the fuel tank.
guessing imma get a new one welded on and the fuel tank replaced. I 'm waiting on what the appraiser has to say now.
