Here is the problem....My 2001 GT was badly damaged in a high speed collision. The front frame was bent, the door was scratched, air bags went off, and both front fenders damaged, but the engine is fine! The car had only 27k miles and it is my baby. The rest of the car is perfect. I only had liability at the time so insurance (sadly) wont pay for it. What is the best option for me? I thought of a couple:
1) fix the current vehicle, including straightening the frame. I'm thinking it would cost around 10k
2) buy a cheap 01 V6 with a nice frame and swap everything from the damaged car into the new frame (have friends that are mechanics and could do this granted it is possible)
3) sadly, part out the car.......
I wouldnt want to do #1, because i've been told that the car will never be the same. I wouldnt want to to #3 because I love the car. I am leaning towards #2, but I was wondering how difficult the process is.
Thanks....any advice would be appreciated!!
