Should you choose to sell the aftermarket parts (not sure if you’re aware) you could try the MD Subaru Trader page on Facebook. Or even the FRS/BRZ/GT86 Marketplace to help expedite the possible sales |

Final update: as expected, insurance totaled the car I'm going get a quote directly from the body shop to see what it would really cost to fix. I'll probably spring for it if it's not too expensive. I absolutely hate starting over fresh with a new/different car and would like to avoid that at all costs.
Keep your eye on the classifieds. I'll probably have my stuff up for sale within the next week... |

cars are changing where steel is no longer steel, so parts that used to be capable of being welded together can no longer be consistently welded by body shops. it can still be done, but it needs to be done by someone with a full understanding of the metalurgy, and most body shops don't staff people like that. here's an example from mercedes for their 2012 s-class on the different metal types that go into a single vehicle structure

Just got back from a factory tour in Alabama, 43 types of metal on the 2020 GLE Why bother buying it back? It’s legitimately totaled. That’s not a scratch on the bumper and 3 flat tires. Cost to buy the car, try to fix it, buy a second car for the duration, and you’ll always have a salvage title junk car. Take they money and move on. Buy the same car again, these cars aren’t exactly hard to find. |

I'm having trouble finding another one in my price range. I got an amazing deal on this car and most others for the same price have 2-3 times more miles, are totally molested, etc. The top 2 reasons I really want to keep this specific car are it still has the suspension I spent lots of money on and I ran some wires for my RexSpeed heated mirrors that were a total pain in the ass and I really don't want to do it again on another car. |

talk to the insurance adjuster about getting the suspension off of it. as long as you have the originals, they can literally be in the trunk. as long as all the parts are there for the car, they don't care.

The original suspension parts were thrown into the scrap metal pile at the local landfill several months ago, so there's no hope in getting my aftermarket suspension off the car. If I still had the original parts then I definitely would've rescued my suspension when I removed other aftermarket parts from the car last week.

Life lesson about car mods. Never toss the originals!

I can tell you didn't live in the shadow of the great depression! OBTW, might you be interested in a 8-track tape deck from a 1979 Lincoln or a fuel pump from a 1948 Chevrolet or a new spark plug for a 1947 Cushman motor scooter or how about a timing light and dwell meter?? humfrz |
