Ok, heres one of many possibilities, Use the insurance that you have and let them total it out. Afterwards buy it back and get a parts donor car and fix it or get another RX7 and swap the parts.
Or, start hitting the junk yards, most 7's are sitting in the yards simply because of blown apex seals. I have seen at least 20 rx7's in junk yards between ohio and north carolina. If you keep this car realize that you don't just need parts, you'll need a frame shope, someone to check out the suspension, and then the body work begins.
Sorry to here about your misfortune, I had to let go of my 1970 BRONCO because it was recked. I spent three years into the restoration so I can sympathize with you.

like I said check with your insurance and see how much they will sell the car to you for, you may either want to down play the amount of work you've put into it monetarily to decrease the cost of recked car, or make it look as good as possible before the adjuster gets there. [B]Here is some good advice, get all your receipts for the parts and services that you've purchased since you bought the car, you will need them.

Go to www.teamfc3s.org and look in the forsale section for a member named Indyparts. His real name is Rick Hawley and he haslike 4 87-88 TII parts cars that he is selling parts off of. He's selling me my parts for my 90 TII.
