Goodbye Green SVT :(

k, here are some updated pics of the car.

to repair it would require 2 fenders, 2 doors, a tie rod, the winshild (in time form the deer) and the a-pillar to be pulled out about 2-3 inches down low.

here are some pics from today.

back in the garage it sits now...

so, what do you guys think i should do? part it, sell it whole to be repaired? or repair it myself?

i miss my svt :(
 
I think I would get it fixed. the worst is the A pillar door support area.... it will take some time to get the door to line up again unless you plan on welding in an entire new section there.... good luck
 
part it out and replace it
the car will never be the same again
 
Find you a good frame shop and talk to them about pulling out the A pillar section. Then go talk to another. Find out what needs to be done to the car, if anything at all, so that they'd be able to work on it.

Then go from there repairing everything else.

Just remember, it's worth saving and with the money from the ins co, you have extra in your pocket to get things going again.
 
Definitely fix it. It shouldn't be THAT bad, seeing as you can do some of the fixing yourself, like the fenders. The A-pillar is the only really big problem area...
