Default Wrecked my ap1, what can I salvage?



Obviously, everything on the front-passenger side is done.

Off the top of my head:
1) Cluster
2) Shift knob
3) Passenger seat (Driver seat is done)
4) Rear wheels
5) Rear suspension
6) Trunk/rear bumper

Those are the simple stuff, so now is where I really need help. I'm still unable to walk, so I can't really get into the car and start taking pieces out.

1) The soft-top, including all the hardware. The top was up prior to the accident, but it popped up during the accident. It seems like the hinges connected to the windshield broke, so how would I know if it's still good/salvageable?

2) The engine block. The valve cover does have a hole (don't know what it's from), but I would think the block itself is durable enough to survive.. what should I check in order to find out if it's still good? It had about 110,000 miles on it, so it still had a ton of life left.

3) Steering-wheel. The air bag did deploy, but can I still make money off of it?

I didn't get a good view of the tranny, but my friend said that's done.

Is there any wiring/harnesses that would be salvageable also?

Thanks for your time and help! Oh yea, if you guys can also shoot me ball-park prices for what I can get for the various parts would be real helpful.

Yea.. firefighters and paramedics told me I was lucky. I blacked out, so I don't really remember from anything from my own perspective. But my friend said someone hit me (or almost?) which caused me to drift left, hit the curb, jump the car, and hit a tree.

honestly, anything in that is a crapshoot at the moment. To have a car looking like that means there were some really bad Gs. The engine might be cracked if it took any decent hit, aluminum doesnt take impacts very well. I suppose you could sell your rear tires, brakes, suspension, possibly the dash, center console (cant see inside dont know how badly its damaged), trunk, rear quarter panels (maybe? Is that a dent or dirt?) rear bumper..maybe.

From the picture, the driveshaft is brokenn, exhaust is crushed, doors/fenders/front bumper/lights are all gone. I'd be surprised if the engine survived untouched. The transmission might have suffered damage from the driveshaft snapping off (how else does the entire car tweak out?)

Is the rear bumper intact (ie no damage whatsoever)? If so I would be interested - send me a PM. Thanks

OUCH! Can't believe you are already able to type after that kind of collision! Entire frame bent in half!

Someone is looking out for you!

Depending on how the driveshaft bent, the rear differential may still be good and those are items that sell for a decent amount due to so many S2000 diffs going out from drag racing them.

1. Rear tail lights?

2. Fuel pump

3. Drive Axles

4. Soft top if it's not torn or ripped, not sure if the top frame would be worth much since those don't really go bad unless the car is wrecked

5. Top retracting motor and assembly

6. Factory stereo is probably worth next to nothing on an AP1. Aftermarket stereo or speakers? Door speaker may be toast but tweeters may be ok.
