Default Input needed

Dark day for Del-Sol owners everywhere. Another rare car down for the count. My buddy hydroplaned about 3:00 this morning. Most of it is body damage and the driver shock is pretty messed up. I was wondering if anyone could give their $.02 on whether it's done for or not. The passenger door is kinda messed up, but I don't think it's to the point of where it wouldn't close right. The underside of the passenger side is pretty smashed and I think that's what is causing the door to not close properly. If that is the case, the cars done for.

The good. The B16 and tranny are fine, started right up about 45 minutes ago.

I really hope its just the door and not the frame, I'm a Ford owner but I'd still hate to see a car like this let go. I was also wondering, what's a B16 swap go for these days? I had a few people tell me 1500 - 2200, more ideas would be nice.

Thanks

Get those rims off the ground or you'll be buying another set. Ha ha. I'd have the frame checked out, it it doesn't drive straight then its mos def totaled...unless you rule at welding.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

only thing i'm happy about is that it took out one of those sideskirts. lol

definitely totaled though. if i was in the situation i'd get it fixed anyway though. It's too rare of a del Sol to just give up.
