You are missin the frame damage in the engine compartment. The front radiator support is bent... along with the bumper support which housed the methanol kit & dual pop. I will have to wait for the insurance company to give me an estimate on the repairs. So far with what I saw, it would cost more than 75% of the market value of the car to fix it (definition of a total loss by an insurance company). Basically making it less expensive to find a donor car & move the performance parts over. Not to mention the boost controller was reading more than 18 pounds of boost, for 91 octane california gas, that could mean a blown motor.
