that sucks man! sorry to hear about that. either way that dude should have to pay for your car, because he hit you right? id pull the motor/tranny/int. it looks like a 16 valve, so its worth something. good luck with getting someone to pay for that/ finding another car.

Looks like the whole front end of the car is askew, especially since the windshield is buckled and everything, strip the wheels off, the engine/tranny, and gut the interior, maybe even the vin badges, if you ever get a donor car to clone this one with if that's what you want to do. Almost anything is fixable, but there is a line where it becomes impractical, to me this car is way past that line. Shame your in Washington, otherwise I'd buy whats left of it off you outright.

i can agree with this, my dad does frame work repair and ive seen WAY worse cars that have been fixed.it is fixable but ya there is a line that you gotta draw, try finding a donner car and either swap the parts to it, or use the parts on that to fix your current daytona....sorry for your loss, i know the feeling of loosing a car...mine got burned up

i think thats frost on the windshield and not cracks.. but it would need a new front clip and a bunch of fabricating/bondoing on the rear, i dont think it would be worth it. you should take the drivetrain and wheel/ tire setup and put it in an omni ;-)

that looks fixable. but how much money are you willing to spend on it to fix it? This could be a time to let it RIP or a time to make it one clean Daytona that you would eat off the k-frame with

you know that non of the windows got a scratch on them.....i dont think the engine got touched one bit. It had only 119 thousand on it and i took d*mn care of it too. The interior is perfect. I was second owner. It had the 8v 2.5l turbo in it. It kicked ass and i loved it. Anyone knows of any cars for sale or suggestions on what i can put it in let me know. Appreciate all the help im getting here.

Those 92 turbo IROCs are kinda rare. Damned shame that happened. Having been there myself, my sincerest condolences go out to you. Hope you find a good donor car to swap everything into. Good luck.

I KNOW LOL!
I picked that car up for 3900 dollars paid full in cash! It was a beaut! I got so many compliments on it. I for most that i can remember hated dodges with a passion till i was out looking for a new car and caught this one. 5 min. test drive is all it took and i was in love.

then save it. Depending on what you're planning on spending, it's fixable. Just worry about the front and get it running. Don't make the mistake i made. I wrecked mine. Bent the core support and everything else in front of the firewall. I sold it to someone who i thought would fix it and have regretted it ever since.

My suggestion would be to take it to a shop that does frame straightning and have them check it and see if they can straighten the under carriage if needed, then go from there.
Does it look like the underside or the K-frame got bent, twisted or moved or is it just sheet metal. If the car can't be straightened to track straight down the road again you are waisting your time. That would be the deciding factor for me. All the rest can be cut off, unbolted and replaced or welded back in place. Even the rear quarters can be cut off and repaced.
