Unhappy Roll over repair

Hi every one, I had an accident with my 2005 350Z and the car rolled 6 times in the dirt. I want to repair it but the damage to the card is a bit too much. Does any one know where can I get a new Chassis for the car? I appreciate all your help and comments.

Glad your alright. As some people said on a Nismo that crashed weeks ago due to it rolling over, you can get the body back together factory specs, but it will not be in pre-crash specs. The looks of that car seems that its going to be totaled. Sorry for your loss.

Believe it or not I walked away with scratches and bruises. I was doing about 80 to 100 miles/hrs when the car went to drifting and slided to the grass field on the side of Hwy. I am hoping that maybe I can repair it, I did not have collision insurance on the car so Insurance is not going to pay me anything. So I have no choice but to fix it.

The extra $30 a month I guess just wasn't worth it.

you might as well chalk this one up as a loss...i had an accident where i didnt have collision and it cost me 9k out of my pocket...use this as a lesson learned, to always have collision insurnace...part your car out for what is salvagable...and try to pay your loan off if you owe money...if not..pocket the money and move on cuz trust me...by the time you repair this **** you might as well just buy a used 350z for cheaper

Really glad you're OK. What caused you to lose control - worn tires? wet road? any idea?

Is there a reason why you were driving so fast? I hate to see Zs end up like that.
Its a good thing you're okay.

Sorry to say it but I don't think it's worth fixing. 1) It won't be cost-effective. 2) The car will never be as good as it was before even if you get it fixed.

Good to see you walked away from that it looks totalled to me. You may be able to part out a few things but with that type of impact I am sure there is more damage than meets the eye.

Knowing you survived with minor brusing makes me feel a little safer if I was to roll in the roadster. Very scarry.

Was it wet? What happened really? Anyone else involved? Where did this happen?

You would spend more money properly fixing that Z than if you were to go out and just buy another used 2005 Roadster.

Salvage anything you can off it and part it out. Then get whatever you can for the shell from the scrapyard.

There is no chassis on a 350Z. All of the sheet metal welded together "acts" as the chassis or frame.

From what I can see in your pictures, the exterior and interior sheet metal is soo damaged and unrepairable (due the the integrated system of integrity being violated so severely).
