Not worth it, at all.

Cut your losses and get another one.

No way. The body shop guy is a complete moron. Youll find your rear panel is fubar once you take the bumper off. You need a new passenger side fender support and rad support. They'd spend 2k of your money just doing those 3 things. Plus, your part list is missing tons of items

Well, I just took the check and lost my car. Truly a sad day. The S2000 was my dream car. I remember ordering the original catologue when I was 13 when it first came out. Hopefully I'll have a little patience before I run out and buy another one.

Yeah it's my dream too. That's why there's two in my sig. When mine was totaled I bought another one. I even got the same color

Even if he fully restores it to pre-accident shape, he'll never be able to get full value --- if he decides to sell. It'll carry a salvaged title.

Since I'm looking for a replacement, what would be a good offer to make on a decent AP1 with a salvage title that needs a new top and paint?
