Default Car got hit while parked

a couple of weeks ago my car was PARKED in front of my work. (body shop). A lady in a big mark Lt pulling in to the garage crushed my car in the front.i wrote a estimate for 2800$ cause lady wanted to pay cash. So she turns it in to her insurance. Adjuster calls me her insurance is SAFE AUTO they wrote a estimate with used parts for 2400$.All this made me mad till it hit me i get to paint the whole car add a new vfn hood fix the dings and dents and still put about 500 to a grand in my pocket


Damage - cracked fender, bumper and headlight
fender and bumper are fixable bought two new headlights gallon of ppg dbc paint,gallon of ppg dc 400 clear and pint of blue pearl


tried uploading pics but to big will up load the pics of damage when i figure out how to make them smaller
