Without seeing the damage it is hard to tell, but it is possible that you could just replace a few damaged components and get your car working again. The bad news is that the damaged components are probably the wiring harness and the plastic induction system. The induction system isn't too difficult, but replacing a wiring harness could be a major pain in the ass. You may want to start looking around for cars like yours that have been totalled in a wreck, but which their wiring harness survived unscathed. > > Anybody know of any photography contests where they give away cars?
