I am Screwed!!!!

I was driving to work the other day and a porshe passed me. I got behind him and he slammed his brakes and I put my car into the wall at about 40mph. My insurance co. is totalling the car but I want to keep it as a race car. The whole front end is crumpled up but It did nothing to the motor subframe or suspension. Just the body **** and radiator fan and condensor are broken I am sure. What am I missing up there that is vital? Can I fix it enough to race it?

Need pics, but you may be able to fix it up enough for a driver with a salvage title if your state allows those vehicles on the road..

Well you need some better (larger) pics with what you have posted you can't see sh*t. I would say for race purpose it would be able to be fixed though.

It looks like it was a pretty ugly hit, what the hell happened to the driver of that Porsche?

Mine has gone from this:

To this so far:

The radiator support is still bent upward causing the gap b/w the hood and front bumper cover. As long as your frame is not crushed bad or pushed back, there is no reason why you cant just replace the body and front end components. I will be taking mine to the body shop on the 31st and can get you more pics when a few more things get done if u want.
