This is my brothers car, an old man ran a stop sign and hit him. We think the car is going to be totaled because the b-pillar is bent.

He has the TEIN type-flex suspension on it and was wondering if anyone wanted to trade for cash and stock suspesnion.

the roof is bent too though...its weird... right above the b-pillar it's bent in and when you look at the car from the rear it curves to one side...

considering the "B" pillar took the hit, that is not surprising that it bent in.

the pillar took a good hit and went like this <

for the damage the shop is gonna need to use a frame rack to pull the pillar and bend the frame back. I pretty much did what you said but i definately regret it now. i pocketed 2500 from that accident but the car will never be the same. take it to the best shop you know of because the insurance is going to pay for it anyway. dont make that mistake like i did.

thats an excellent route if its just a dented fender or something, but for something structural best to take it to a good shop imho.

Definitely not totalled and definitely needs to be the best shop you can find to fix it.
