So Farmers shot me some numbers that weren't a complete slap in the face. While I would have liked more, I really don't feel like taking things to court.

So I took Malachi to a local body shop with excellent reviews and had them quote me what it would cost to fix JUST the sheetmetal damage. The plan was that if the estimate came in at a healthy margin under the money they were giving me, then I would get him fixed.

They came back with an estimate of $860.

PERFECT.

I have a fresh suspension up under my parts car that I can swap myself, so $0 parts cost there. I will use some of the leftover money to fix some of the other issues he has, maybe finally repalce my Eibachs.

So right now Mal is sitting at the body shop waiting for them to get through their backlog. In the mean time I shall be rounding up the parts I need to put him back together and pulling the spare suspension.
