Raybob - Have you taken the car to a frame shop? I believe that upper quarter is service replaceable. If the cowl is intact (I don't see a broken windshield) and the Apillar isn't moved reaward (cant quite see the rear door gap but it looks straight in the pic) and the pan isn't buckled too badly then it might be fixable.

If not, plenty of clean rust free donor cars out here.

While that looks a bit worse than mine....I agree with Alan.....don't write it off until taking it to a GOOD frame shop.....not a quicky churn and burn insurance shop. It **might** make it....if not.....donor cars surprise me every time I look at our cars....cheap!

Sorry for your trouble though....glad you are OK!
