    Folks here are mentioning the rockers because though unrelated to your accident, those parts are known to rot out on these cars and putting money into fixing crash damage may be unwise if other parts of your car won't last long anyway.
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.

    AH! I got it. Thank you so much.

    I'll take a look at the rockers later tonight. I'm glad I posted and should have earlier. I knew talking to experts will help make the answer clearer...its not a unanimous Yes so far and valid concerns have been raised..same that I've I always had. I'll sleep on it.

    Keep in mind that it's an almost 20 year old car with plenty (not a ton) of miles on it, crash damage & other mechanical issues. A good used car identical to yours is only worth around $2,000. Also factor in if you need to pass a State Inspection. The real value of the car is up to you ! Others on here have spent triple or more ( not to mention sweat equity & time ) of the book value on their beloved rides to resurrect them. Since it seems you will be paying others to do the work, the cost will add up FAST.
