It won't fix. The uni-body is twisted and bent. And even if it could how manysalvaged cars do you know of that are worth a lot of money? They are worth LESS after a major repair like that one would be. You'd practically have to cut the car in half and graft on a new one.
Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and move on.


Again, sorry Chris.

Thanks, it's either

A) find a nearly free rolling shell and move everything over

B) part it out

C) sell it as a whole to someone or a salvage company

dont sell it to a salvage yard. you will cry. guaranteed. what you can do is find someone who has the time to basically turn this into a rebuild.

I was sick over my car, and it was reparable...you must be near tears, if not at the point.

I think you should sell it and move on, find a different car.

Yeah, but...a wounded car is never the same anyway.

Good news guys

I've decided to keep it and to start saving for one with a blown or missing motor to swap all of the gear into. It'll become a summer project.
