Default What should I do with the truck?

I got in an accident and ****ed up my truck. It is still driveable, but the passenger side door does not open, there is no 4wd and the guy at the auto body shop said I'd be paying more to have it fixed than it actually costs.

Should I sell it for the parts, keep driving it, or sell the car as a whole? the guy didn't give us an "official" estimate so I don't know if there is frame damage. I will attatch pictures to further elaborate on what condition it is in.

I would be willing to bet that frame is bent. Can't u turn it into insurance? Well that's what I would do and take the money and run.

spaz, your like a shark with blood in the water man!

the damage reallly doesn't look that bad at first glance. sell it for parts then sell the rest for scrap. you get more out of it. it's like being an organ donor, just think of all the new projects you can create and your truck can live on forever.[8D]
