He literally removed my rear deck 6x9's by using a crowbar to rip the screws clean out of the holes. Then instead of pulling out my head unit alone, he rips out the entire trim piece with the clock and warning flasher button
Needless to say, I've got a long and expensive summer coming up...

Dont feel bad this was mine before... This happened 2yrs ago.. this was how I bought the car.
not bad for me and my dad doing the body repair in a day then.. 2 days at the paint shop.. so i pretty much had the car running in a week. also it took 2 days to get the parts from the junk yard. and theres alot of parts for Cl's but one thing they are expensive.. headlights cost me. 145 each.. hood 200... and I forgot the rest. We had to pull the body.. and cut the support part of the fender.. and had it replaced and then welded it. any questions just ask.

Omg, I just saw pics of your car. Do it yourself! You can come up big time with that check. Just make sure your radiator support is good and straight, and check to see if your radiator is still good. If so, then just throw on a bumper and lip and call it a day. Make sure the power steering line is good too.

Do it yourself man - You could buy brand new OEM parts and still come out with money in your pocket with $2500. I had a body shop quote me $1900 to do the repairs on my car, which didn't even cover repainting anything. As of right now, it's looking like I'll be able to do the work myself for about $1000 less, which isn't bad.

well i just took it out for about an hr drive, radiator seems to be fine, power steering is fine. the right turn signal blinks incredibly fast though, but it might be because i dont have any bulbs or sockets on the right side.

Well your repair payment has to come from somewhere 
I love having a non-profit insurance company
