Bit of background to better help someone help me... Thank you in advance!
About 3 months ago I hit a deer in my 2005 GT and did some damage to the front drivers side of it... the car was still running after the collision, i pulled over to the side of the highway, got out and checked the damage, then got back in and turned the car off to call CAA (im in Canada, its our version of AAA). Called insurance the next day and they said I wasn't covered. So the cars been sitting in my driveway under a cover while I collected some money to fix it. Yesterday, I went to go start it to move it into a better spot to tow it to a body shop and found out theres more issues than just some body work.
THE PROBLEM:
When I turn the key instead of the normal sound of the engine trying to turn over it makes an awful screeching noise. It sounds like the starter is grinding against the flywheel except all of my belts are moving. I haven't tried much for fear of damaging anything more. I charged the battery to make sure it was getting enough power and then connected it to my winter car and used that as my power source with no success. Nothing seems to be in the way of any moving parts in the engine. I will post some pictures of the damage. *WARNING* images may be upsetting to car lovers lol. Any help is greatly appreciated.
