Id take off teh front end and see what really happend. You cant open the pass door cuz usually the fenders get pushed really far back and jam it. Like I said pull off the whole front end and see how bad it really is. You can probably do most of the work yourself, except cutting and welding in a new core support (where the radiator sits). Is the frame bent? It might only need a few pieces by the core support and frame rails, which usually are fairly inexpensive. Do that and if its still super expensive to fix, well youre that much closer to strippin it.

+1 Don't shoot it in the cylinder head until you know the extent of the damage. You can probably find the replacement parts yourself much cheaper than a body shop would by using the classifieds and what not. Usually the body shop will quote new parts because they don't have the time to scrounge around and find good used stuff. Don't loose hope yet.

strip it, sell the extra parts, take the insurance money and buy another sn95 and put a brush guard on it.

lol Ok well I'm 16 and a teenager too and I know fir a fact that I'm NOT better than 80% of adult drivers. I highly doubt that you are either. It's that teenager idea of invincibility that gives people like Adder the opinions that they have.
