so far its a 6k accident. probably wont go up too much more.

im in a tough spot. financially, ive already overspent on the car. a concourse level 964 is worth like 45k max today. obviously the turbo RSA RS and Speedster are in another category.

so finances aside. heres where im at-

option 1. take the insurance money and run. fix what needs to be fixed, and just drive the damn thing.

option 2. option 1 + the right fender and blending the door. so this means essentially the entire front end is being sprayed through the doors. 1/2 3/4 of the car will be brand new, but not perfect. the car currently has bad tape lines and overspray on some trim in places. other spots have trim that has snunk over the years, and there are some very thing paint spots, especially in the roof. theres also some typical bubbling along the windshield by the drivers side. very common on 964. glass out repair needed.
this option would probably be a few grand on top of the insurance bill. i wouldnt bother with the rust issues just yet.

option 3- full on restoration. order all new trim and gaskets, glass out repsray or color change. at this point changing color doesnt even matter as its all being done. either way i wont drop the motor as a black engine bay is not a problem for me no matter what color i choose. do all the way past the door jams and have a totally painted correct car.
we are talking 12-15k in addition to the insurance claim. could be more . if i go this route, its getting a new color. id be wasting my time if i didnt choose a new color. if i got back a black car, id be a little let down.
colors i currently want are mexico blue, mint green, Grand Prix white, unnamed dark non-metallic gray
