Gah! This is what I keep running into, oh well, I might be interested in some other interior parts, but I'll wait till you make a for sale thread for it.

sorry to hear about your loss. what's important is that you walked away with very minor injuries.

Im sorry about the loss man, but like everybody said atleast you get to walk away from it in good shape. I may be interested in some parts if you end up parting it out. But tiems are tough right now.

That does suck. When I totaled my Z28, I bought it back off the insurance company for $1400. Then almost tripled my money selling the parts. Good luck.

I cant decide if Im going to keep the car, keep my motor/trans, or what.

When I decide, I will either put up a for sale thread or a "Im going to do it again" thread.

Decide what you want to do, but I think we'll take the whole car as is.

Something in me wants to pull the motor tranny and build the tranny with the parts I just got the other day, put the cam in, buy some heads with the money I sell the interior/other parts with and buy a rolling chassis to put my motor into.

Unhappy

Wow that was a hard hit dude, you are quite lucky in that regard.
I see so many bad accidents involving 4th gen F-bodies and people almost always seem to still walk away from them, pretty safe cars overall.
