but then again it doesn't matter anymore....

 

Your lucky you got that much from your insurance company. I have a 91 and when someone decided to toss a bunch of crap in my gas tank they spent 1500 bucks doing repairs because i wanted to keep the car. Otherwise they were going to total it and only give me 900 bucks. Let alone i still owe on a loan. I hate the fact that our cars KBB is ridiculously low. 900 for mine. And there wasnt a difference between the V6 and V8 models. Hope you get her fixed and back on the road.

 

first get full coverage and then insure it at a stated value if totaled

KITT is inusred a stated value of $10,000 and I have full coverage

 

damn dude in all reality, so long as you dont get sued for it i think you made out, fix that **** man, and you will have a paid off car lol

 

Deffinatly get it fixed.

Funny thing is my 84 z28 looked the same when i got it, the front bumper brackets on the frame are bent up, and looked similar. I just kept the bumper support on and bent it down with a crow bar.

and its supposed to be the same color as urs.

 

ha ha yea it goes into the body shop to get those frames bent back down the guy said it will cost somewre to 100-200$ to get it fixed with labor so to me its not all bad? and i bought my new hood put it on there now i need to get hood pins and get the shop to put it in. i just hope my hood doesn't crack while they do it...

 

 

Thats not a bad price at all. and Hood looks good.
