Got A bo0-bo0
yeah, the cars done. I've had so many S14's roll into my old shop to know... I've seen less damage than that on another 14 and the insurance just cut the kid a check.
Looks like your frame rail (which is what everyone is refering to) is pushed down and into the engine bay just a tad bit, but the time to get it straight and get the panels in the right place will cost a good chunk of green. Radiator support is done for, bumper bar, fender and hood obviously are done for. not to mention the head light assembly. Not to mention you have a two-tone paint job... its a total. But ask the insurance to buy back the car and use the rest of the $ to fix it back up. If not, I woulda bought it off you for buy-back price (if you lived in norcal)

Yep they totaled it an i bought it back
cus progressive goes by the 70% repair to value so they had to total it down here in the red stick cus most of the part are disc by nissan.
so i gonna leave it in my garage till i get all the s15 part needed to do a complete convertion up front.
it is drivable cus i drove it to the shop, they gotta put it back together on monday so i can pick it up.
rad core was toast, bumper was repaid before but not welded right say shop guy's who has a 180sx in there with bout 20K into it.
he's gonna runn me a labor est for the conversion so i know who much to save. an he gonna source me some parts to get it driveable if i wanna go that way. Cus we got a sh@t load of Katrina cars to strip still.
Later for know i keep you'all updated as i can.

I thought the same, but hey, to each their own. I would just go flip mode on someone if they took out my front end, even though its a Zenki. I'll just keep saving up for my LS swap.
Its good to hear you kept the car JSSX, keep us posted on the rebuild!

That's actually a pretty realistic number to say that you're going to have an engine thats almost 4 times as large as the original and that you're going to be able to afford an LS2 and get the suspension to match . . . ALONG . . .with the cosmetic and aesthetics . . . .I say 3 years my be overestimating your funding.

Im actually kinda underestimating the time frame seeing as I'll be one of the few who will purchase the BumbleBee SS Edition Camaro in 2010. At this point, I dont know if I will for sure do the swap seeing as my brother will be driving the S14 when he gets his license.
Just picked up TWO die-cast models of my future wife... in silver and red. many they look sek-say! I might go back to that hobby shop and have them order me another one and paint that one to look like BumbleBee.
Oh and until you teach me that trick with the left hand and right toe - uh... oh shet I did it again...
