id consider just buying a new front clip... :S the suspension could be messed up also, and thats no fun trying to get it sorted out. also if your vc is damaged, it is very possible that the engine is damaged also.

don't forget frame damage and ur hood. I dunno man I wouldn't repair it. even if you do repair it, it will never drive the same. and it will probly cost about 3 or 4 thousand.

yeah dood, i personally you could part out and get another car. I've been tabbing up on the autotrader for the past 8 weeks, you could be a B16 delsol for the estimated price of repairing that damage.

sorry about your loss.

true story, part it out and find another car, frame damage sucks and thats a hell of lot of work. ive delt with front end damage like that and even worse, the bill jsut gets higher the more you get into tearing it apart. i once had to put a whole new frame under a Tahoe b/c the fram was fucked, that car isnt really worth your time

If its coming out of your pocket it will be several thousand. If its going through insurance its most likely totaled.

I had a accident like that in february. on a ej8. I thought there'd be frame damage but there wasnt. And you're looking at 4600 through insurance... roughly. I had all the same stuff replaced. New valve cover, wires, radiator, AC, hood lock and everything else. my car bluebooks like 7k so we had it fixed, yours probably should be totaled
