Crashed IROC
 
1 Attachment(s)
I missed a 90 degree turn and hit an Escalade. I am pretty sure it is junk because of the radiator support and the shock tower is pushed with the master cylinder pointing in about an inch. Could a body shop fix just that problem (the shock tower) and be fine or should I start selling parts? I had a lot of sweat equity in the car and it was nicely optioned with the 350, bose, tops, disc rear, the price to get one just like it has gone up dramtically.

gone for good my friend. Its not worth it to try and fix it. Part it or swap parts to another car.

Good luck to ya.

Oh shyt too bad!

I'm pretty sure 90% of the body shops out there won't even try to repair that (frame damage for sure).

And if you find one that will, can you trust their work? And how much is it gonna cost you in your time, trouble, and $$?

I had a '91 GTA that I picked up for $700 with front end damage (hit a pole). After going through the trouble of repairing it, it never drove the same. If I could do it all again, I'd simply part it out.
