depends if chassis has been bend or not
i think being a gen2 it would be a write off.

looks like abit of damage
make a list of the parts you need
but in the end it might add up to more then the car
so maybe sell it to a wrecker

we are going to get it towed to our house and pull it apart and assess the damage if its not to bad were gonna fix it up as a sleeper with a possibility of a gto dohc conversion but we will see what happens

Maybe look around at local papers, carsales, ebay, etc. - Look for a cheap Magna with an okay front (maybe lucky enough to find one with a dead engine or damaged rear).
Then use it as a doner car.

we are definately thinking of that might turn out cheaper than buying replacement parts off a wrecker...

ouch! How did it happen if you dont mind my asking? Was there damage to anyone elses car? That would be a write-off at a mechanic, but i reckon you could find a cheap magna for like $500 that had been rear ended and donate all the parts from it yourself, thus being a fairly cheap fix.
good luck!
