I bought an insureance total for three grand. the front passenger fender is smashed in so that the metal is just hitting the pully on the altinator (i or ac pump what ever is there on the paaenger side) no pulley damage. The hood is tacoed, head prints in the windshield, the rim chewed up, but the front bumper is fine as well as the passenger door. The rest of the car is cherry no leaks in the motor/tranny, etc. A good friend at works son bought it in 2002 for 19,000.00 three months later wrecked it and the insureance company gave it a salvage title because of the one estimate was 13,500.00. Now I am macanically inclined and can do all labor. I would like to fix it and use it for a family car. My questions are:
1. Is the front frame and/or suspention so trick that a wreck like this not worth the time or trouble ?
2. The insurance company left about three quotes from wreking yards rangeing from 2300.00 to 2800.00. could I get more parting it out or selling whole ?
3. What other years are compatible under the hood ?
