hey its worth a shot

[turban]

thats not bad of a damage,why not just fix it

[dmw319]

ive decided against the trans am. too much work.

i really just want to fix mine up. i just have to find a good place to do it and call around for estimates today. just sucks cuz i can only get estimates if the car is at the shop..and the car isnt driveable. wish i had a tow car handy! lol.. ill keep you guys updated!

just get the frame work done and go from there. And get an SS hood while you're at it.

I bet you can find a bunch of cheap fenders and bumpers.

dmw, mind if I hit you up on AIM? I live down here in winston-salem... and definately sorry to hear about your car man, everyone here knows what it feels like for something bad to happen to your car. *comfort* :(

:(

that really sucks. i couldnt imagine what i would do if something happened to my baby.... and i like your car more than mine [img]tongue.gif[/img]

best of luck working everything out, im sure in the end you will be very happy. sounds like no matter what, youre going to end up with a badass car.

i have the stock lid and air silencer stuff if you want it.

just in case...
1998+ is the years you want for the v8 cars. those are ls1 motors. before that they were Lt1 motors. not at all the same.

[J. Henley 17]

Not as good, but nothing wrong with an LT1...

I think it would cost as much, if not more, to fix it properly than it would to buy another V6. Try to get estimates, but I'd guess upwards of $6k in repairs.

Or... maybe not... I thought there was more body damage. Still, if there's frame damage, and the underhood bits, it could add up.

[turban]

is it 6k to repair his v6??

[J. Henley 17]

Well, I was thinking there was more damage, but yeah, that stuff gets expensive with labor...

[dmw319]

i got an estimate today of 5,414..

[J. Henley 17]

Not too bad... still a fair bit cheaper than another car with decent miles... you could get a fair bit of that selling your supercharger and the other bits, but then again, if you're repairing it, I guess you wouldn't be selling them?

NOOO that t/a you posted from cars.com is a picture of nathan's old car. that was the car he had and sold. he was once in the car club. i recognize it for one because of the way it looks but mainly because of the chipped side skirt. that is weird. i hate to see that car got messed up too. :(

you can see the chipped side skirt here in this pic of me and nathan..

i wont part out anything, not even the s/c if i fix my car. but still 5,414 is a lot.
