Got report from adjuster. Total loss, got check on the spot for 24 grand, 28 minus my deductible. Bought the totaled car back for 4 grand, blue book value, cut a side deal with the same shop the insurance company was going to use, got the repair down to 8 grand! AND I get to do some of the work myself in there shop. WINNER!!!! If I dissemble the front clip myself, no paint work will be needed. I will be real careful believe me...12 grand bonus. BUT my car is OOS for a WHILE. That is why I wanted access to there shop, to keep them motivated to complete.

"Frame" is tweaked some. Will take a frame machine. Convertibles are easier I'm told to straighten with no visible damage. No roof, rear quarter flexing. Wiring screwed under car, headers smashed, have to be replaced. A few things. Door is stuck closed now.

Have to pull engine, trans to replace headers, will be easier to straighten with front clip off. I just am worried about the paint, that was 15 grand on the insurance repair estimate. And I think that was low.
