[ N00bONE'S Celica in need of help ], pictures, short video clip of the scene Options

[hioctane]

Noobone. My longtime friend has crashed his celica after 1 and 1/2 month of ownership. He went over a bridge with his celica. At the end of the bridge, there was a corolla. The dumb ass guy in the corolla floored the car, so N00BONE thought the guy was going to blast off. He thought "WRONG", the guy in the corolla slammed on the brakes. Noobone had only two choices: crash his car into the corolla, making it his fault (he has a oneway insurance, which means that they only pay for the other car) or he could of crash into the rail making life much easier for him.

Problems: His entire front bumper was destroyed. His engine got pushed back. For some odd reason, his car can still runs. His brackets might of been broken. His airbags never DEPLOYED!!

( In PT 1 you can see the blue paint smudges on the rail, and you can see the inside of his busted headlights.)

*How much would you guys think it would cost for repairs based on the pictures you guys saw??
*Since the insurance company is a one way, would they give him the money to fix or replace his damaged celica??
*If the repairs do not exceed over 3000$, would it be wise to fix the car or to save it for a new one?
*How much money would he get if he stripped all of his parts to sell to us??
*Would it bring save him a lot of money if just he tried to fix the celi himself????? if it does how much do you think it would cost him for the repairs???
*Since his front bumper and headlights are broken.where can he buy new headlights??? Where can he get a gt4 front bumper in the US????

i would try to find used parts it would be alot cheaper to repair. as far as him doing it him self unless he has a frame rack theyre is no way i would buy the parts and have a shop do the work. body shops always charge more fo parts then what they pay for them and new parts are hella expensive
go to www.car-parts.com for used parts

i would say around the neighborhood of $1500. thats just an estimate though. i know some of the guys on here did the projector swap, i would ask one of them if they had their old lights laying around. neverstop said he would give his bumper. it looked like you would be best off just going ahead and getting a new fender instead of trying to repair that one(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2403758268&category=6766). if that link doesnt work just search ebay for a fender for a 94-99 toyota celica. there is always atleast one on there for $135. well, i hope i have helped out a little. keep us updated on how things are going.
