Guest Battle Pope Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 A lot. Probably in the 4-6k range for a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaSmurf Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 hmm yeah probably I'm gonna try to get some estimates to show the insurrance company I want at least 5k from them if they dont fix it to buy a new one my number keeps going up as I look around for a decent Z around me they are no where to be found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 That's the problem with having yours wrecked, as it looks like it was in really good shape. Z's aren't real difficult to find, but they're pretty scarce in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Another area of concern should be the firewall / a pillar area around the rear veiw mirror / top door hinge.... Looks like it took a good lick right there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Remember its a unibody....for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.....look elsewhere on the body/frame for damage....these cars are soft as butter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Needs a replacement shell doesn't it? Those rear quarters are a bitch to fix, have to be cut and shut IIRC, in which case given the other damage it needs a shell, plus.......... What a bastard of a thing to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just FYI, When I went through this back in January 1996, I fought with State Farm over my car being totaled by their company. They eventually settled for $7800. I had a stack of receipts an inch thick and video of my promotional stuff I was doing with the car for advertisers and business development. It also took about 6 weeks worth of fighting with them. Show PROOF that the car is a classic and ANY receipts for repairs. Also, Do NOT settle for a partial payment. That car is likely fixable, but the cost will be to high for the company. They'll want to cut you a check and let YOU keep the car, since it isn't valuable to a salvage yard. These cars are no longer considered desirable in the Auto Parts recycling business. That could work to your advantage, because you could still make a decent chunk parting it out after the fact, and swapping good parts over to your new ride.

mikeatrpi Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Wow man, I'm sorry for your loss. I'd invest in a very beefy steel fence before I did anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
