Fiance killed my car - advice on salvage?

Have they provided you with a buy back price? One way they're often happy to work is that they'll pay you the "value" of the car, in this case said $7000. Then they'll sell it back to you for a lower amount... It saves them from other losses they're bound to incur while disposing of the vehicle. Check some local shops (not dealerships) and see how much it'll cost to get it road worthy and then as time and money permit have the cosmetic stuff taken care of. If it were me (and I wasn't able to work on my own cars) I'd start with getting estimated to get the frame straightened, get the rims checked to make sure they're straight and try to find a local Supra owner or two who may have time to swap the axle/knuckle/strut or whatever is needed. It'll be cheaper to upgrade some of this with aftermarket "performance" parts.

Option number two would be to buy it back and try to sell it "as-is" now that spring is here. The value of this kind of car spikes around tax time and stays fairly high through most of the summer. You won't get a lot as it's non-turbo and hard top but it may put you over what the insurance company is offering and that much closer to being able to afford another.
