Anyone else see this?
If there were only unlimited time, funds, etc., etc.
I'm surprised the owner is letting USAA take it.
The front may be pretty messed up, but the rest of the car looks great.
I haz sad.

You know a lot more about these than me, but the estimate to repair is almost its retail value. Where would you get the body parts? And yes, the rest of the car is very nice.
BTW, there is a killer BBQ restaurant not far away.

Donor cars. Yes, one would be splicing parts of cars together, but the damaged areas are not commonly rusty.
Not all that familiar with the structure, but careful cutting and pasting of whole sections may be the way to go.

It surprises me how many people do not take the buy back on enthusiast cars, but it seems to happen way more often that not. I just recently saw a Diablo owner let his go....man I would have bought that back no question.
I just hope an enthusiast buys and puts this back together. The interior and back half of the car look to be in great shape.
Their insurance company may not allow them to buy it back.. I wasn't allowed to buy back my totalled miata..
