just wait till you get an insurance adjuster to come see it, then get as many hands as you can and do a swap day onto a new shell.

The car that hit me was a VW Jetta. He was trying to make a left turn and I was going southbound. The light was green for me so I had the right of way, I was also going the speed limit 30mph. He saw me and I saw him, but he just made a left turn anyway. Since it had just stopped raining the street was wet. I braked but could not stop in time.

I did not even know what to do or say, first thing I checked was my leg. (I broke my leg a year ago)Then I got out of the car and was angry to see this.









It really makes me sad that I worked so hard on this car the past couple of weeks to get it track ready.

All new suspension (shocks, struts, springs)
All new steering parts (pitman arm, idler arm, tie rods)
New tires
Swapped in a GSL rear end with disc brakes
driveshaft
Swapped in another 12A with a 7" Supercharger, holley fuel pump

F**K
oh dude thats definetly repairable all you need is vice grips a hammer some holy water and a alignment
oh **** i rem you you came to my house in sd to help alex

If you decide to get a new body and swap everything over, let me know, i'll come and give a helping hand. I'm sure others would like to help to. We could probably get most of it done in a weekend.
