If the chassis is bent and looks unrepairable unless you break the bank, part the car out, or buy a clean shell and swap everything over. Frame damage is something I never want to deal with. Saddening. Who hit your car? I would hang that person.

As it is now, I think its worth has dropped significantly since it has frame damage. Therefore I suggest swapping the parts to a clean shell if you want another 7, or part it out. You will make more money that way. If you want a price I'd say 900-1100 bucks if the driveline and engine are in top condition
