    How are you going to sell it? like that it's worth maybe $150 to a scrapyard
    At the end of the day it's a car and I feel your anger

    If you were hit from behind the chances are 99% it's their fault and even if you don't have insurance you can claim from theirs or sue them for damages.(hope it's reported?)

    Methinks maybe time to swap all the cool stuff over to a GT-R or GT4?, sell the rest as parts and you'll get a lot more

    Cover the hole with some orange translucent vinyl and keep on driving till you find a solution
    Like Nando says the rail is bent so needs a chassis straightner and some clever beating.

    Fernando - Que?

    Stig Kevin you are correct that whole panel kinked you will have it pull only a pro panel beater can do that for you if you wanted properly done you will see that your door gap as closed or gone smaller.

    Kevin-Que? Porra my friend yes they also knocked me from behind but dead centre only broke my art work on no plate holder and bumper still have not sorted it out yet. I am now in joying ridding a Lexus IS250 for this whole week nice car but not as fast as I would have expected it to be and for Mafix He said that the side shaft's are the same I can't see how this one is rear wheel drive?

    didnt get a written quote... that would cost money.. did get a visual though. the dude said a couple grand to get it right... i was like T_T "thanks"

    dude! i would love one! but im looking for an aw11 =]

    lol thanks! i would've been offended years ago when my was a "POS" and you called it that. not i am proud of it. =]

    hopefully it does! on a side note, the insurance company got back to me, more like my sister, about the situation, and my car might go to a body shop to get it done right... can i request for them to fix all the dents and repaint the car? =] or am i getting too excited?

    i know, it sucks major ass

    i did find a gt-s on craigslist the other day for 600.... but, it wont pass smog. =(

    si amigo

    and i called the cash for junk cars and they wanted 120 for it.. i was like, "fuck you, mother fucker! you dont know shit! you guys will sell my parts for more than that, sucka!" although, i didnt actually say it, i felt it! :rolleyes:
    believe it or not, i posted it up and craigslist for 1200 including all the parts i have ready for it. i've had some luck. one guy wants 800... and im waiting for more replies. might fix it and sell it to an old member on here. i really want an aw11.. but, i really want to keep the celica too! oh dear, what to do...
