Cut a deal with insurance company. Let them total it then buy it back for scrap. Who cares if the title is "salvage" at that point. It's still yours and you're not going to get rid of it.
Take insurance money and spend a few grand letting a good body shop fix it back up.
Use it till the wheels fall off that turd or it burns to ground and leave it right there forever.
I agree. If insurance co totals it, buy it back. Then find a good fiberglass shop to do the repairs.
I had both sides of my 5er repaired. Roughly right down through like where your bedroom window is, on both sides of mine. They cut out the bad and fiberglassed in a new panel. It cost about 7K but that included a new roof also. Check into it.
Good luck, John.
Where do you look for such a repair facility? Would it be auto body shop or a specialty shop?
Still waiting on insurance company to call me back. They said it would be a day at the most and probably before the end of the day Tuesday.
My son in law helped me cover it last evening to keep what's left dry. He does a lot for me and when he first saw the damage quipped "I don't think I can buff that out". A little humor never hurts I guess.
