There is some guy in Texas that was selling a mint shell like a month back. He only wanted a few grand for it.

Try searching, or posting in that regional forum.

Damn that sucks. Post some pics so that maybe some body experts can look at the damage and see if it is fixable.

I was hanging upside down with my instructor telling me to get out of the car. My instructor told me that I did every thing right is just that some how the stars lined up for me on that day.

If any one knows if this could be fixed please let me know. If you work at a shop or know of a good shop and would like to extened a helping hand please Pm me. I tried to post pic of my car but I dont have a website were I can post on.

If you work at a shop pm me and I will send you pics of my Evo

Sorry to hear about your wreck, but I wouldn't recommend getting back on the track with the same instructor.
You really believe you did everything right? Any qualified instructor will tell you that everything you did increased your odds of wrecking. One of the 1st things you should've been told was 'When You Spin, Both Feet In.' This will greatly improve your odds of not wrecking your car & anyone else who happens to be near you. You did exactly what a beginner shouldn't do by trying to save it while everything else was working against you - your inexperience, tank slap, terrain, etc. Good luck with the rebuild.

With a little bit of TLC this baby will live to fight another day.
Lets all hope for the speed Gods to spare this one and allow her to one day rule the track.
