I'm kinda curious to see what the car looks like. Hitting a wall at 103mph is kinda hard. The frame has to be bent! And the guy was 28?? Thats sad. I thought he was alot older. Good Luck with your project

ok the car must be pretty messed up if the guy died in it. guess it was still prob worth it though.
The car isn't in to bad of a state. Just damage to the right side of the car and the bonnet. the right side is pretty smashed up, that's why I need another Rx7

I would say to get another one needing a motor and
convert all the good parts from the smashed one.
Cant just go throwing a "shell" on it, there is bound to be some
frame and suspension damage. If the insurance company didnt
want it then its probably alot more then its worth to fix
Locally when a car gets totalled the buyout is 10% of the book value of the
car, so it doesnt sound like such a good deal you got there.

i still cant put all the pieces together and figure out what happened to the car personally so i actually cvant figure out if it was a steal or if he got robbed.
