I have been away from the 6gc community for a while. Recently i moved into the bay area (Milpitas). I have not been here for long like not even a week and i had an accident yesterday in the rain. I was turning right on a slope, slowed down and turned. Car was turning nicely (<20mph) and all of a sudden no traction, drifting nicely and plow! It hit the island! I was shocked in disbelief.. Started the car back, drove slowly in the closes parking lot. Looked at the car both f and r wheels are misaligned bad (wobbling when i was driving to the parking. I called AAA for a tow truck and it was towed at their facility.

Today the car was inspected ($94).. Found out that the F & R LCA's are bent. Bent struts, damaged rear wheel bearing. Both front axle torn, tranny seal leaking. Needs alignment and reinspection after. ESTIMATE ONLY PARTS $1500 LABOR $728

Im lost what to do and need help. I love my car but its not feasible to repair it atm because i dont hava a garage and $2k+ worth of fixing which is 70% of what the car is worth.

Should i part it out or fix it? If i sell it out as a whole as parts car, how much is it worth?

Any help is appeeciated. Thanks

Pics will be posted later

There is a ST parts car in sac that i could rip all those parts off,i have a set of rear hubs id donate, we could do a DIY alignment,and have you back on the road for under a quarter of that cost id bet. Only problem is all the parts are used and ud need to get a real alignment sometime, but hey, my suspension has 295k on it and still runs like a champ!
