road sign

i had an unfortunate incident with a really big road sign it totalled my car according to the insurance company and i am going to buy it back weather is is repairable or not because there are still alot of good parts on it and the interior only needs swept out but there are a few things that i was worried about not being fixable and i was wanting opinions

Most body components can be pulled back out to or near OEM specs, but the question is how much money do you want to put into it? I'm all for the saving of a thirdgen, but you need to decide how much you want to keep this car, versus buying another and swapping all the "good" parts over.

Sorry to hear about that.. glad you're okay though. Hopefully the car will be fine.

You can try resizing the images. Open them in paint, select "Image" then "Stretch and Skew" and change both the 100%'s to lower numbers, maybe like 60% or so and then save the pics under a new file name so you can still retain the original sized pictures.
