Yeah, the paint and body work won't be cheap. They will have to put the new quarter on and do the body work on that, not sure how long that takes, then do the gill vents, which will take about 20 hours, hopefully a little less. I don't think they can cut the old ones out but it might be possible. After that it will take a fair amount of work to get the front fender to fit everything around it, lots of cutting, etc. to get it to all line up properly. Still the door only has a tiny scratch on it, and the gapping is still spot on so that saves time. Painting the rest of the car will be pretty easy actually. Most of the hours in the paint job are in the prep part and half of it is still straight and can basically be scuffed and shot, so it's not so bad.
As for the parts, well I'll let this one picture do some explaining. We need a new frame, end of story. the wheel, actually both passenger side wheels, we would like to replace just to be safe, especially because I plan on racing the car and don't want to risk any stress related failure. I'm pretty damn sure the front wheel is bent, and flat out amazed it didn't break considering it took the brunt of the impact. The rotor, and caliper we included in the estimate too.
About the engine... I hope it is fine, but you never know, so we are going to pull it and take it to TurnKey to have them inspect it.
