Default hatch wrecked -- cost to fix?

i wrecked my hatch saturday going up a hill. My *** end slide out about hit a wall, jerked it back and it slide out the othere way then i did about 2 360 and the back hit a quard rail.
The frames not bent but the side buckeld a little so there a big dent in the side and the back is smashed up a little. I stripped everything out of the back of the car when i was working on it and realized i wont be able to do it myself so my question is does anyone know how much this could cost it fix it?
When i close my hatch on the right side it rubs my light and on the left theres about half an inch between the light. and the right side is pushed in while the other side is pushed out. It drives just how it did before the wreck

Pictures would make it 1000 times easier to make an assessment, you can never really get all the details of something like this in words.

yeah need pics. the main thing is is it just sheet metal or is the actual unibody bent. If your hatch rubs you might have some body damage

I need more details about the accident.

How did you manage to lose the back end going UP a hill?

Also, as everybody else stated, pictures would be nice - no idea w/o them.

just from the description it will probably cost you more to repair than for you to buy another one. Most insurance companies consider quarter panel damage like that in older cars a total loss. i'd start looking for a shell or a new car if i were you

but not everytime your able to save it no matter how good you are at driving. My *** end has came out twice and i saved it but the third time is the charm. i'm actually lucky my cars still drivable becuase if i hit that wall it would be totaled for sure and i would be injured or dead because i didn't have my seat belt on and was going 90 but it was an eye opener for me. so i wear my seat belt at all times now and don't do as stupid things lol but ill get them pics asap its messed up. and my color is 2000si blue

I spun my EG coupe around. You'd be surprised what happens to a FWD car when you slam on the brakes in a panic and don't have ABS. I was chasing a buddy down a soft curved off ramp, and he started to slow down. I was following way, way too close, and I had no choice but to swing around to his right side, and then apply the brakes like a man mad.

The rear swung around 180 degrees, and I was heading for the wall going about 60mph, backwards. Instinct kicked in and kept me calm, I quickly J-turned, and swung the front back around coming within inches of hitting the wall with my drivers side fender. H22 swapped EGs with stock suspension are not for the faint of heart. heh
