Aw man that sucks to hear. It doesn't matter what you're driving when you hit water and mud.... it sucks and if you're going too fast then you've had it. I say get what you can from the insurance, source all the parts you need from salvage yards, breakers and online sources like craigslist ebay etc. If you've got the skills, contacts and resources at your body shop then make use of them! Repair the old girl and put her back on your road as your daily driver... I think if you choose something else you'll miss the Evo.

Like others have said the main thing is you are OK.

 

sorry to hear about that

 

well the estimate was just over $19k. so I am waiting to hear back from state farm. It is crazy how pricey parts are for these cars. I could still drive this thing if the intercooler wasnt damaged

 

some local ran over a curb and did some painful damage to the suspension and control arms.

 

And really, you work at a body shop, you should know if it's worth it or not...specially since I'm sure you get hookups

 

19k in damage! The car must be really worse than how you say. Sounds like the insurance is going to call it totaled. Good luck tho!

 

yep they called it totaled and wanted $6200 to buy it back with a salvage title!

 

I said no, and now I am evoless. I know it is hard to find them but i would of had somewhere over $12k in it with a salvage title.

 

i have about 15 pics of the car wrecked but haven't had any luck uploading them

 

send me the pics. I'll upload them for you.

Pm'd you

 

How much did you get for your evo?

 

i got $22935 for it. the only upside is I still have my ems w/5bar map, swift springs, halman pro, aem uego gauge, and carbon exhaust shield

 

here are a few pics

 

and here are a few more....as you can tell nothing is terrible, it is just all over.

 

that IS nothing terrible and it IS all over.....

you should take out the drivetrain and brakes and weld them all into a beat up POS looking honda CRX or a 78 VW Rabbit and make everybody poop thier pants when you kill them off the line
