Well, just think of it this way. Had she hit you three feet closer to the rear you'd be hurt. So it could've been worse, the important thing being you weren't hurt. I'd just take the front end off and sell it for what you can and put it towards another car.

Or you can sell the JDM goodies here and make some money off of it. Lol.

Didn't see the tails the first time around. But yeah, sell all the good stuff and let insurance have the hull.

I really hope you can get a chance to buyback the car and possibly start another project or part-out to get some of your loss back. It's a shame that lady had to hit a fellow 6th gen but it seems to some people it's just a car. I know i would be upset if someone wasn't paying attention and wrecked what i had taken so long to build.
I hope she realizes what she has done to a car that in a few years will be considered a classic. (20-25 years i think right?)

Classic piece of junk. tongue.gif Only the SS-III and GT-Four is special, we got shafted. I keep hoping for a tree to fall onto mine so I can claim insurance and get more than what it's worth, yet to happen though. I like the Celica and all, but there's just other cars out there that're better. I say the OP should look at it as a chance for a new adventure. Being he lives in Canada he could look into getting an actual GT-Four or SS-III.

Damnnn, sorry to hear man thumbsdown.gif . Really sucks when you've poured so much time into something to have it wreaked by someone who can't be bothered paying attention. Good luck with the next one! Let us know what ya buy!
