why would you part it? i honestly wouldnt it. let the car sit for a while and collect the damaged parts door fender, bumper wtever damaged. then get it to a body shop. you will lose more money selling the car and getting a new one. and its a nice looking car too! good luck.

I would fix it. You won't get any money selling it and it seems to be a pretty clean car otherwise.

Na, it can be fixed. My old Trans Am got hit in the quarter and it was repaired without having to have a new quarter put on.



I'd say be patient and just buy used parts that are already painted in your stock color, then get your quarter repaired at the shop of your choice.

Yea, I think this is what I "might" do. Was thinking of doing a few things as in a possible swap or what not.

Appreciate all the feedback!
