Default What to do now? (Car accident)

Well guys just recently I got into a car accident and now I'm wondering what I should do. I don't know if I just rather part her out and move on to something else, or try and find another shell! Well I would like to hear your guys thoughts on this matter, what would you do in my situation? Well here are some pics of the accident.

How the hell did that happen? Must have been moving whatever you did, and hopefully you were alone.

Damn, at first i just thought the fender was fucked up and thought WTF is he talking about new shell. DAMN did a semi hit you? I would just try and find a new shell for a couple K, you have everything you need to make a whole car.

Damn, that is a bad hit. I hope you are all right. Was it your fault or the other person's fault? That sucks! You should put the original gauge cluster in when insurance comes to look at your car especially if it has less miles on it than the Spoon one. Dibs on the Spoon Cluster if you decide to part it out. Let me know, I am local you wouldn't have to ship it. You can email me at trian@full-race.com.

"It" meaning you slid off the road and hit something immovable?

Was it that you were waiting to turn left at a yellow light, and then turned red but somone oncoming didn't stop on the red?

I think you will get assigned fault if that's the case. At least in IL, it's more-legal to run a red light than it is to not yield to oncoming traffic.

-Chris

Sorry, back on topic:

Get a new shell. Or use lots of duct tape.

So does anyone know where I can get a shell from, and how much it will cost?

holy ****!!!
glad your alright, hope you didn't have any passengers, this is probably one of the major reasons why i contemplate on removing the air bags from my ride. safety &gt; jdm. but i'm glad that you are arlight and hopefully your passenger if you had one or multiple are alright, imo, i say you find a shell and put in the new shell, as the frame looks pretty messed up, but someone said, its definitely fixable but it'll be $$$$
