you must have gotten hit in the head during the roll over because there is no way anyone would try to salvage this thing.

It looks bad, but it is repairable, you are going about it the right way you do want a new chassis and swap your drive train and interior.

We can sell you the chassis or we can have your car shipped here, and repair it and ship it back to you complete.

Our shell is silver in color, we can paint it color of your choice, at this point this would be the best time to paint the car the color of your dreams.

Give us a call and we can discuss your options. 813.695.6664 we would be glad to help you out and get your Z back on the road.

80-100 mph and NO collision insurance. Winning combination.

Yes it was at 404 just passed the Stouffville exit. Did you see my Car? it happened August 28, I was going to a meeting when that happen, did you see the actual accident?

I am still confused as why the car behaved the way it did, I thinking my tires were the problem, I bought them used to save some cash. I guess it didn't work well.

Good lord. The car is only as good as the driver and in your case, massive fail.

Don't try to fix something like that, it will cost you a fortune. Part out what's salvageable and use that money towards a different car.

Well, it seems that many people are telling me that it will cost as much as a new car to fix it, So got to accept the loss and sell the car as a whole or part by part.

Well, This is the part that I didn't mention, The idiot van driver who slammed on the brake for no reason as there was nothing in front of him on the highway would have been dead along with who ever that was in that van if I didn't reacted quickly. So yes, I agree with you that The car is only as good as the driver, but I bet every dollar I have that I am a better driver than you will ever be.

Right, that's why you ended up in the ditch.

Best to find a new shell or a car that has a blown engine or something, assuming your engine is in working order.... which it may not be.

I have not turned the engine on since the accident, the battery is disconnected. I checked the anti freeze and the level is still up. I am pretty sure that everything is fine in the engine and transmission. I have difficulty to find a shell for a reasonable price. The cheapest I found was $5000 but it is missing front end parts, no fender or hood or head lights. Any suggestion as where I can find a shell for a reasonable price?

The same place your car should be..... the junkyard. Cut your losses now and just go get an 03 or 04 with high miles, since your all about saving the keesh.

haha good lord... you'd have been better off ripping the ignition out of the steering column and claiming someone stole it..
