Sorry homie, but thats totaled. I wrecked my 94 vtec and it was less damage then that and it was totaled. If i was you i would try and get what I wanted off of it and just let the insurance company take the rest, sorry to hear man, it was coming along nicely.

I am in Canada tho and sols are worth 6-10g's. sticker price for this was 12g and there is a sol on sale right now (97 vtec) for 11. I know in the states this car is only worth like 4-5g's ? the bodyshop guy said it should be ok its just parts for this car are expensive..

Yeah suck up hard cause those guys can be ******. Mention it's a collectable, cause Honda hasn't made another since production stopped.

BTW you got a PM explaining everything. Feel free to ask whatever from me or on the dSoc thread. We'll help any way we can.

best of luck to ya. I had a 95 gsr, looked alot like your car but the damage was in the front left. yea..... totaled. That was a few years back when it was worth a bit more as well. But they gave me TOP $$$ for it, so it wasn't that bad at all. Good luck though!

well take some detailed pics of the shock tower and the frame rail. . . .

most of it looks cosmetic, although you may not need a new rad support, if the current one is straightened it may not look too pretty .. . .

Looks mainly cosmetic to me, Fender, Hood, Head Light, F Bumper, easy stuff,...i think the guys are right though, most would consider a car that old a total loss with that much damage, its all up to insurance dude. But I hope you get to keep it

good to hear. where i am (midwest) and with my cars (92 ls with full gsr and 97 civic with salvage title) they would certainly throw them away. hell my bank doesn't even consider them as collateral because they are too old.
