i cant decide what i should do with my car, i got a 04 civic ex coupe. Cuz bout 3 hours ago i crashed it. I hit 2 cement garbage cans and a light pole doing about 40 mph. the bags did deploy and i am not sure if the frame is twisted or not. if the frame is twisted i am not gonna **** with it but if is not i would like to fix it. i would end up fixing it myself and putting the k20 in it only problem is if it is worth it cuz of the air bags. i mean i know how to replace them and everything but i need a new dash and stuff so i dont know what i should do. any advice would be great

I would have to agree with qijian, unless your going to rebuild that whole right side, not to mention the stuff we can see

looks totalled to me. Not worth everything you'd have to put into it to get it back running right again

i knew that but the motor is in good condition it just needs a lot of body work

if it's just body work find out the estimate.

usually your car is totalled only if the body (quarter panel with the other solid pieces) and engine is gone.

Now is it worth it? I can't tell you. find out how much it will cost to fix everything. Then decide whether it would be cheaper to buy a car instead. your calculations will get you your answer.

Or find a better shell and just use that for parts... but from the picture, it looks bad....

finding a em2 shell is like finding gold in the middle of a field.

ya the insurance guy told me that it is a total loss and plus it would definetly be cheaper to buy a new car. good thing i had full coverage. now the question is how much do i get for this and what do i buy

ep3 hatch...fulfill your k20 dreams and you don't have to use premium fuel...midgrade will suffice. And cheaper insurance than an rsx

ya well it turns out that i am prolly only getting 1700 out of it cuz my parents are taking the money cuz the title was still in their name. and i owe them about 4 grand so my parents are basically screwing me out of my car cuz they gave it to me 3 yrs ago. and if i do end up gettin a new car, the title is gonna be in my name
