[deutschman]

100% totaled!

[Atreus]

Forgot to add. I plan on taking it to a shop that will see if they can pull the frame back, possible work some magic on it. or tell me that its FUBAR'ed and get over it.

40$/hr for bodywork/frame pulling/painting isn't too bad. i hope.....

[einstein57]

I normally see labor at $35 per hr and and $50 for frame time. You have already done the teardown so that's good. There are bolts behind the brake ducts holding your valance in place. I'd take it to a body shop that specializes in taxi cabs. They work fast and cheap. You should be able to fix everything including paint for 1.5k assuming your not replacing the radiator support. Considering your car is fucked i'd just make it look pretty from the outside and never do any future mods as the car is now only good for a daily beater.

snow tires...

[Atreus]

thanks einstein.

so now this car will never have the potential to be something great? :( gah.
this is the first time i've had frame damage, exactly how bad does that affect the whole car? i'm not trying to autox/scca/nasa or anything. just want something nice in the mountains, with the top down. lol.

[Atreus]

blah, i'm not finding any cheap vert rollers for the life of me. this sucks.

[325islovE]

alignment issues, and body panel gaps is pritty much what your gonna be dealing with, any frame shop should be able to get it rolling straight agian.

[2002maniac]

I guess you didn't catch the annihilated control arm and strut.

I was addressing body damage...

[Atreus]

so NOT a good platform for m52 swap....

[akorcovelos]

meh, I totaled my volvo, bent the frame. Pulled all the body work out, new fender/hood/light etc. Looks ok now, fine for a DD, but yeah, even if they can pull that frame straight it will never be the same. It's a vert man, make it look good on the outside and enjoy the top down fun, not worth big money swap IMO.

[monty]

Mainly this plus 17 year old car = bye bye.
Oh yeah and all the parts that will have to be bought will exceed the 75% value of the car.
