I just got the estimate this morning to fix my beloved celica.
My wife hit a deer in it. The labor is going to be a little over $2000, but the parts are killing me at a whopping $8000. I refuse to post pictures of my celica as is because it's heart-breaking. And it's really not that bad, a hood, a fender, front glass... maybe an upper core support and a couple headlights. The freakin' body shop told me, and I quote, "It would be stupid of you to fix this car" I can get wholesale toyota parts from a dealership I used to work at, but they're still expensive. Especially those airbags. I'm depressed and I just thought I'd share. Nobody else's celica to compare to mine in my heart. I have to decide whether to part her out and buy a newer 6th gen, or continue on this "stupid" quest to restore her to her glory + extras like a GT-four hood and C-one front cover.  Ebay doesn't look too promising at this point. I don't want a convertible or a 1.8L. --------------------  |
