Help.

I don't know what to do. Someone hit the roadster today.

It was after lunch. I coming to a slow stop, about to turn left across a two
lane street (my street) into my own driveway, (blinker was on too) and then
I heard the screech from behind. '94 Chevy Camaro nicks me on the left rear
fender. Breaks his lower running light. Slightly bends my left rear bumper
and dented the trunk little. O.k.... It's not that bad, but it's bad to me!!

I tried to remain patient and pulled into my drive way hoping he wouldn't
drive off, he followed. He said he was sorry and gave me FL driver's license
& insurance card. I needed to leave to go back to work. I didn't think I
needed to make a police report (maybe I do?). We didn't.

I had planned to do a full body restoration late next year, and would rather
do the whole car at once.

What should I do?

 - Should I make a police report?

 - Should I report this to his insurance?

 - Should I report this to my insurance?

 - How much should this cost to fix?

         - the bumper?
         - the body work?


I took some pictures when I got home from work.

Any input or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Lenny
