Car accident repair advice needed

So last week my s14 got rear ended by a truck; most of the damage is to the right rear upper quarter panel. Going to buy a new trunk lid; trying to decide should I use over fenders to cover the damage?

If insurance is willing to fix it, no. stock body forever.

Insurance considered the car totalled and I kept the car with a slavaged title. Attempting to fix it myself; while trying not to put a lot more money into the car.

A body shop is going to have to fix the trunk lines so you can get the lid to latch again and get the lights to fit again. Also paint..
Try to find a quality smaller shop that will work with your situation. The differences in prices can vary a lot. I've hit 6 deer. I know lol

I've had similar situations like this. First with a Honda then with my s14 that was considered totaled. I had both repaired for less than half of an insurance estimate.

Estimates are free. Get several

I'd keep it metal but if you want an alternative and know someone who can reinforce the rear. I remember this was posted somewhere.

There is no way to fix this correctly without putting a lot of money into it, hence the reason insurance totaled it.

If you have the tools and capabilities, it can be fixed. It'll require removing the quarter panels and anything rearward of the C-pillars. There is a company in aft. Myers that parts out S-chassis. Perhaps you can purchase the pieces necessary to repair said car.

If it were me, I'd pull what I could off the car and sell it to someone looking to make a dedicated track car with it.

This would be less of a headache if you just bought someone's " front end stripped, motor pulled" car. I have seen several no motor, no tranny, 4 lug, 14 chassis for about 1500 or less with shitty paint. This will be pure frustration in the long run, not to mention how critical the quarter panel body line is to us stock body fans.

I have been looking for another chassis, haven't had much luck. Though I have located a quarter panel; going to see how much I can pull the rest of the damage out. There is no damage to the frame just upper quarter panels.





Thanks 1on1 may check this out.



Prior to accident.

Anyone know if 2f makes those quarter panel things for S13s? I messaged them on instagram about it but I don't know how often they check their instagram.
They make them for S14s and FRS chassis and even an E92 BMW so I'd assume something like that exists for S13s but I haven't seen any information about such a product.

Anyway, I would give those a shot if I were you OP, they seem like a really decent solution and they look a million times better than 90% of overs, or worst case find a shitty shell and use the rear of that.

The accident looks very terrible.....i truely understand the OP feeling. However, if i have to make any decisions like this, i would look for another good car or good shell to start with...it is because i think it is a time consuming process, and requires a lot of interaction and intension...Most importantly, i don't think that the car will be the same after repair was done.....

i think it will be better off buying another car or shell and transfer some nice stuffs from one car to another......
