my guess would have been upwards of 10g's the rear quarter needs to be replaced and the car needs to get on a frame machine. then about 2/3 of the car needs to be painted.

No one can tell you if your unibody can be pulled back by look at pictures. Especially those. Have it towed to a reputable shop and have them put it on a frame machine and do some measurements. That will tell you everything. Insurance Frame Rates are $73/hour here. So be prepared to dish out a few hundred for the pull alone. Two Hours to Set Up and measure. The at least on hour in Rear maybe two Up front.

might want to just out right replace your rear subframe.... It looks like it took some of the force!

No what im asking is just the pulling of the frame, i have all the suspension parts already and front headlights and rear taillights and i have the stock fenders and front and rear bumper in silverstone because i had aftermarket ones at the time of the accident. So the only thing that needs to be painted is the rear quarter panel and the only thing that needs to be pulled is the front.

i'm sure a body shop would tell you yes.

the question is how much.

your insurance would cover it since it's an accident...so why not ask a body shop?
Exactly. I had much bigger damage repaired on my car. It was very expensive, though. Insurance covered it, but in retrospect they probably should have just totalled it.

Still driving the same car.

You are delusional. If you have insurance, this is exactly what you have it for. The covered expenses will greatly exceed any raising of your rates.

If you don't have insurance, then I guess "want" is not the right verb. "I have to fix this one with my own money"?

He said he has all the parts, with the exeption of the rear "sub frame". Maybe he plans on doing all the work himself

Either way, 7-10k minimum.

Ok, well just let me clarify since everyone keeps bashing me on this. Insurance already paid up, and im buying a new S, and since i have the fender s, bumpers, etc. i also have the rear subframe, and yes im gonna do everything possible myself. And i dont need the car repainted, All i want to KNOW IS IF ITS GONNA COST ALOT TO JUST PULL THE FRONT BACK. thats it.
