Do your best to repair it, those are too rare (especially in that colour) to let it die in a junkyard..

I've been in the same place you are now, brother, and I've made it out. You can too, just hang in there and fix her up!

Frame should be cool. Damage is high. May be an EZ fix with a few parts. There was a guy in MD. parting out the same color car. Ill look for him.

There is a brilliant collision expert on FB groups. I'll ask him to take a peek for you. He brings SC's back from WAY WORSE! He is too far, but may advise.

I posted a link to this thread. Hopefully he will chime in at least to advise.

His name is Carlos and he truly works magic...

Carlos did not reply yet but another guy did,

He said: "That's totally fixable. Bumper, headlights, hood maybe and pull core support out. Should be good".

Depending on what you get from the insurance payout, you should consider upgrading to SHINE or some other type of body kit. OEM stuff is so expensive in comparison, that if you went used and aftermarket for replacement parts...you may even have a couple of bucks left over.

Definitely, i'll post some photos of my repair when I get home. Hopefully there's someone in the vendor section selling 97 parts because despite 97's and 93's being really similar there's enough of a change to make a difference. I bought a support from what I think was a 95 and it barely fit, i used my rotary tool to grind the hole out and even then it was somewhat misaligned to where the foam support didn't fit properly.
