you said you've "got a guy", does that guy have access to a frame machine?

that would be the first step, imo.
The guy got a garage and the machine for the frame in case but so far he already took of the quarter panel and told me the frame was pretty much fine it’s will only be a little job to see if it’s straight or whatever. he’s specialized in salvage or totaled car so I’m not really worried. It’s not the first gt86 that he do. It will cost 10-15k CAD.

I had lesser damage than this and even "with a guy" that has a frame machine, the quarter will never quite pull out 100% factory. The only way to properly fix that is to cut it out and get a new quarter panel... who knows what is hiding under that carnage.

To OP: take any mods off, keep a momento from this car, and let insurance take it... and hey, maybe they'll let you buy it back.

Is this guy an actual body parts guy or some guy who fixes up salvage cars and flips them?
