Take my advice and look for stuff on this board.. It must of saved me at least 1-1.5 gs doing so.

 

It's a car, dude. You are bummed but it is not the end of the world. Sounds like you will just have to scrape the money together to buy the parts. Sure sucks when you get caught without the isurance, though. Like everyone says, you can get the parts together little by little. Start by using the Wanted to Buy forum. Check the For Sale forum. You'll get there. Hopefully you are a car guy or have some car guy friends who can do some of this work. You do need to get an estimate, though, even though you may not use that repair facility to have the work done. At least that way you will know what you need.

 

well even parts on here arent gonna do any good if you have serious damage such as bent frame,suspension etc....which is the reason why insurance would total it out in the first place

 

that sucks

 

If that was my car, I would want it to be totalled. It will never drive the same as it did before.

Last year, I was driving north on I-81 from Blacksburg to Harrisonburg (in my Integra GS-R on admittedly worn tires). About ten minutes before my exit, I encountered a freakishly abrubt snow storm. I decided to weather on (pun intended). Cars were pulling off the road all over the place. I couldnt accelerate above 40 mph because the wheels would lose traction. The road went from dry pavement to packed snow in a matter of minutes. I'd never seen anything like it. Anyways, I made it to my exit, and entered the on ramp. As I approached the light in front of me I realized that my car had zero control. No steering, no braking. I'm thinking... shit. Lucky for me, the light ahead of me at the intersection turned green as I reached it. I thought I would just slide through and continue on the on ramp and everything would be ok. Halfway through the intersection, the wheels took grip somehow and the car turned about 30 degrees to the left. My right front wheel ended up slamming into a snow burried curb at about 25 mph.

Long story short, the right front ball joint was pushed rearwards exactly an inch. No damage to the suspension arms amazingly. Strange that the frame bent before the control arms did. I got the ball joint pulled back at a collison shop. They said it was one of the easiest jobs they had ever done. A simple pull of one inch and the car was laser mapped to factory specs.

To this day I can tell that the car does not handle like it used to. Something is awry.

In your case, you have EXTENSIVE repairs required. Just know that the car wont ever be the same. Sorry to be a party pooper, but that sucks.

 

I'd have a body shop you trust give you an estimate and let you know exactly what needs to be replaced. From the pics someone will have to look at your car in person to know what exactly is needed. I'm sure it will be plenty.

 

Im planning on selling it once it is fixed. I will never drive it again.

 

your car is F*CKED my friend.

just damage on the back or just the front would have been mega expensive.....you've managed to get it all around. I think you need new panels bumpers all around.....which will also require painting...Also the damage isn't just panel deep; you will have twisted/bent the chassis. Also that wheel that is bent in the wrong way - that kind of suspension damage is expensive to fix as it f*cks up the strut towers that the suspension fits into.

i think by time you add up the total cost of fixing the car you may as well throw in a bit extra and buy a new one.......also like someone else said that car will never drive true again.

 

i think im not gonna drive in the rain... thats what i think

 

That sucks man.
