Vivek:

Hood and trunk are slightly dented, as are passenger front fender and rear quarter panels. I am not too worried about those, as I can basically bolt on replacements for everything but the quarter panel. The roof and passenger C pillar are the ones that concern me.

Chop top it mang. Then cut out the spare tire well and slam it. Maybe grind off all the paint and throw some old diesel fuel on it. Afterwards, you can park it in your garage and.....well....I'll leave the rest to you.

Yeah, I went there.

wolf, fix it. the car means a lot more to you than just parts and money.

take a look at these threads for inspiration from people who've dealt with huge issues:

fixing it yourself is the story you'll want to tell your son when he's 16.

Uh, What?

That's totalled for sure.
If the car has some sort of sentimental value and money doesn't matter, then fix it.

Fixable. Personally I would cut the roof off from the bottom of the pillars and put a new one on from a junk yard.

Damn, I didn't know the shady russians where in Austrilia too.

IMO: take the opportunity to delete the sunroof.

All that damage is fixable, just going to need money and a donor car.

Two very large oak trees and straight line winds, but I think the "I rolled this bitch" story sounds better. If it weren't for the fact that it has been family owned since new, and pretty well maintained, I would never consider fixing it. But since I know all of the history, I just can't bring myself to part it.

Anybody got a rust free roof the want to get rid of?

I say custom chop top vert. Goodluck doesn't look save able. From a logical stand point.

I'm no body man but...

If the roof structure is bent, I'd say it's fucked. Get a new shell, and swap everything over. If it's just the skin, then you can re-skin the roof, which shouldn't be terribly difficult for a professional.

Get some better pics and post em up.

[craiggroves91]

I say ditch it.

[ghalee30]
