|  What to do???
ok, so my 92 sc2 got sideswiped by a truck. $2600 worth of damage. right now im in a legal battle. my saturn leaks water from the door seals, sunroof doesnt work (i ghetto'd is so i can push it up and down to vent) my electric fan wont turn on so i run it with a toggle switch, my clutch is going, and i have a massive oil leak. i was thinking of getting the insurence, partin the car and buying something else. or keep the car i put time into setting up the suspention and stereo, buying a sl2 from a friend who is gonna junk it. rebuild that motor (maybe a little more performance) use the front end of that car and swap it over. (i hate popup lights anyway) and part the rest of the sl

Once a car gets hit badly, it's often never quite right again. If the insurance company isn't gonna rip you off, I'd take their money and start over. Keep in mind that if you take their money, you can't part out, cuz it becomes their car. (though you can prob get a few things from it first.) | |

is that what the body shop told you there was no damage to the frame?
$2600 seems a lil high for just those few parts
