Sorry to hear what happen, it could be worse. This is actually one of my fears of driving the car on the roads. I've heard nothing but good things about elrich, so your car will be in good hands.

Ohhh the Agony! I'm having flashbacks! Another jacked up berlina. Damn Justin you know if anyone knows how you feel it's me. 
To have your beautiful black baby crunched, pushed in, violated! I feel your pain brother 
but unless you were injured I don't think you will be able to collect anything other than to have your car repaired at the shop of your choice to your reasonable satisfaction. So the best thing that you can do is take it to someone you trust and tell him to do his best job, don't take any shortcuts and charge his highest price(since her insurance company will be paying for it anyway). You might be able to sue her for additional damages (diminished value) but you will need to hire an attorney and you will need to prove that you have some special type of car, has it won any races or shows, special awards etc? And you need the appraisal price before you had the accident not now. There's guys in the classifieds in Hemmings or other collector or antique car mags that do this.
It looks bad but both of mine were waaay worst.Looks like those parts you said and maybe some suspension parts and you'll be back on your way.
Be glad and remember to thank God that YOU are OK.
and dodged a 65 buck No Front Plate ticket
and it's a labor of love to keep it looking nice. While I'm nervous about the work I think if anyone can give me a paint job like glass again, it's Bill's guy.Actually, I did win an award at a car show with the car this summer and I have the trophy to prove it. I'm dreading this fight with her insurance company and it hasn't even started yet.

Yeah it should be OK. I felt much better after seeing Berlina that Elrich did, it looked absolutely beautiful. I just hope the suspension is OK. It wasn't a terribly hard hit but as you can see everything got pushed down onto my wheel.

The lip is cracked to hell and the bumper is going to a friend to use on his racecar. Sorry.

I chose my insurance company so I wouldn't have to wait for the report to be finalized or deal with his insurance company.
