When I hit my deer the other month I am sure that the insurance would have totalled it out...too bad I don't have full coverage. But I fixed it without too many headaches. Took about 20 hours, $500 for parts car(+$120 in gas to go get it and bring it home), and $330 for a windshield. I do need to repaint my hood though...same color but some wierd azz paint like stuff on it and some scratches. Good luck! I would put a 3.0 L in it after you fix it and some svt heads. YOu will get a good amount of power and some $ left over.
