Stupid roe deer.

To flip a 44 year old car with no seatbelts in 100 km/h is not the best thing to do...

Note the A-Pillar, the windscreen (witch is in one piece!) is in the right position, the pillar is not.

The skidmarks.

I'm surprised it held together as well as it did.You're lucky not to be dead. A word of advice: NEVER swerve for an animal. You have a much better chance of surviving if you hit it than if you swerve, for obvious reasons.

I know and I didn't, the problem if you don't adjust your drumbrakes once in a while the car will not go in a stright line when you lock the breakes, as here.
My next car will problably have discbreakes...

No I will not repair this car, will use it for parts or turn it into a convertible.

Not my car, some owner before me problebly though they were unnecessary.
And the law says you must have seatbelts in a car that is from 1968 or newer so the carinspection have never mentioned it either.
