Subject:Have you ever uncovered Hidden Damage from a Wreck...

Sometimes after a wreck, you uncover damage that not detected until later.
 
What are some areas that had hidden damage that you have come across past
wrecks?
 
I hit the right side front right on the front bolt holding the bumper on.  I
noticed that the front support underneath on that side has buckled at the
weld @1/8:.  The gap between the door and body has decreased @1/8".   I am
having the van looked at today for estimates and basically wanted to be
aware of areas that can be overlooked during the process and be able to
point them out...
 
Thanks in advance,
 
 
Robert
