Default Crashed my Z,is it worth fixing?

I recently crashed my Z during a storm, by the looks of it looked totaled, but my friend who works at a repair shop came to my house to take a look at it and told me it was fixable. From what I have checked I would be needing new axels, radiator and mounts (whole front end) and fenders/bumber and a new door. Is there anything you all can tell me I could be needing or missing out?

Your gonna spend a lot of time and money and it will never drive the same. That looks fairly extensive. I would start by removing all the parts you know are garbage and see what you are left with.

Looks done to me. But what do I know?
I would take the insurance money and get another car.

I hope you came out of the wreck okay. Worth fixing? Probably not. But as Extreme Dimensions mentioned above, you might do okay stripping it for parts if you have the patience and space.

In all these types of threads asking for virtual estimates, I have but one question:

Why aren't these types of questions being directed to the people that know these things....like the insurance company?

Oh, right..... yeah, that....
