Oh sorry to hear this.

My car has been so unlucky to me (it needs a new fix weekly almost... in the shop now actually. pos) I wouldn't be surprised if I got into an accident.

Salvage title is only if they total it and you buy it back. There is also definitely frame damage so its not a DIY unless you have a frame stretcher.

i'll buy it off of you lol. just fix it yourself, hood, bumper and headlight are easy finds. the fender and rad support my be a little tricky unless some1 parts a 96 or 97 2.8. hood, bumper and headlights can be swapped from any b5. fender from any 96 or 97 but i'm not sure about the rad support, whether the 30v one will work for yours. good luck though, be careful next time, i hope your barn is a large one and isn't structurally damaged

you sure nic? it looks like to me he just missed the bumper support

i did BARELY miss the bumper support. but i forgot to put that in there that they think i bent the frame over my wheel. so thats kinda shitty.

but i was wondering if since there going to have to repaint stuff anyways could i ask them to paint the whole car?

If you're considering painting the whole car... just cross your fingers and hope they total it.
Painting a car properly costs a fortune... It'd never look as good as OEM.

you got lucky man, knowing it's a 12v I'm surprised they didn't total it, You probably have more than what the car is worth in repairs to do according to their claim (not slamming your car, just the knowledge of how much I bought my 12v for 2 yrs ago when It had 185K on the odometer although you do seem to have 100K less then my car did back then.
