To salvage the G?

So the G has been marked by the insurance co as a totaled car but after looking over it again and seeing what it would cost me roughly to fix it im thinking about buying the car back from the insurance co and fixing it to have to toy to take to a track day and drive once in a while at a cheap price. If someone can host the pic for me I'll add it on here so everyone can see. It honestly looks cosmetic with the exception of the airbags. According to the people at the body shop where it was taken I must have hit the other vehicle just right for them to go off. 30-35mph accident to the right front of the G.

Any advise?

Find out how much, I have three that I bought totaled. The last one I got for $2,700 sold the parts for $6,000 and still going. If you don't want it let me know how much and we can both make money.

Im still waiting to hear back from the insurance Co about the total they are going to write me a check and also the price the car would be if I were to buy it back. If I can get it back for under $4k im going to buy it back and fix it. Airbags and a dash are going to be the hardest and most expensive parts to find.

INsurance Co is writing me a check for $21k and some change. And to buy back the car would be $3300. I have the estimate to repair the car and its comming in at $14,600.

$12 for a screw that holds the black plastic to the front bumper X 7. lol Screws are expensive.

Might just buy it back and make it a track car or something.

Good idear, cant go wrong at that price. If you need the front rails let me know, I got them. If you dont want to fix it then sell it to me for $3,500 or be a nice guy and sell it to me for $3,300.01 I can send it pay-pal! lol
