I learnt my lesson then but I'm not willing to part it out, is this fixable? what do you guys think?
frame hasn't been touched. Insurance is sending an investigator/estimator tuesday... first time something like this has happened and I don't know what will happen

That car will be totaled-out by the insurance guy no doubt about that.

It can definitely be fixed, but it will be easier/cheaper to just pick up a new car unless you have friends in the body shop business that can help you out with the repairs for cheap.

Hopefully you have good coverage and they cut you a nice check so you can pick up a clean chassis.

Not worth fixing that ride, but you can get another one and start transfering parts if you don't want to spend a lots of cash on a ride that's been hit

Yep, that thing is totaled. Buy another good shell and transfer what you want. I assume this is a Soarer?

What rear wing is that?

mecheng10

totaled for sure. rear quarter damage is extremely costly to fix.

I would just take the check and get another one.
you are between a rock and a hard place now.

I don't see the insurance company fixing it...like others said buy a good shell and start new project with your current parts.

yushvaev

yes it's a soarer, and I guess I'll have to get a new shell.. but it'll be extremely hard to find a manual shell where I live.
this is the only black interior GT-TL in my state with the R154..

I also thought about getting over-fenders and just cutting rear quarters out

Cant you buy it back cheap from the insurance company and use it as a parts donor car for your new one?

Keep it as a drift missile

mecheng10

that's a great idea. I second this motion

Thirded. It would be a shame to let it go, but you're going to find the insurance company is only too glad to total it.

Why would you have to "buy back" the car from an insurance company? I assume you don't have a loan on a 20 year old vehicle. If the car is being "estimated", I assume you have full coverage. I wouldn't bother discussing anything with the insurance company. All they're going to do is claim the car as totaled and offer you a check. Refuse the check, claim the car as totaled, leave it in your driveway, buy another shell, transfer the interior, engine, and tranny and drop the wrecked car to a wrecking yard. Contact the DMV and insurance company, tell them what you're doing so you're not paying a property tax after the car is dropped off at a salvage yard.

My wife got in an accident with her SC and we ended up taking the payout. They offered to give us the car back if we were to deduct $1600 from the final payout. We declined the offer and let the car go but I found it later on Copart and ended up buying it back for $750. They cut a check to us and she was in another SC within 3 days of her wreck. And now we have all the parts from her old one and a little extra in our pocket. Couldn't let the Espelir's go to waste.

See how much the insurance company would be willing to give you. You never know, it might be worth it. They based ours on the mileage and condition of the car. We got a little over $4000 for a 92 SC400 with low miles. They told us if we had installed the brand new interior in it that we would have gotten closer to $7000 which is amazing for a 22 year old car. Just weigh your options
