Message As far as repair go, I'd remove all of the interior panels in the rear, to ensure that the damage is only cosmetic. Regarding the front fenders, they should be replaced - not repaired - same goes for the door skins.

That doesn't even begin to address the suspension, an impact like that can often cause damage that may not immediately be apparent.

I'd be checking the fitment / alignment of the hood as well - I'm surprised it didnt crumple in the accident.

Honestly, given the age of your car, and the extent of the damage the insurance company may look to declare it totaled. You need to be prepared for that, and ready for the fight you will have getting any real $$$ out of your vehicle. Call a lawyer & see a doctor, because I'm pretty sure if your ass and back don't hurt today, they will by the time the insurance company gets done with you.

Sucks
