obviously you have a computer or acess to one most camera phones will allow you to email the photos to an email address mine old phone did havent checked to see if i can with new one yet. but if yours doesnt just send a pic message to a phone that will and do it from that phone. im willing to put $ on that any newer phone with a camara will send it to an email addy just gotta look into how to do it on your phone.

I once parted a 69 Chevelle. NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!
I still have parts lying in my basement from 20 years ago!
I made money at it, but it's certainly not worth the effort.

a good thing no one was hurt.

But now that I see the pics, I would buy it back and part it out. the interior all looks good (from what can be seen) the seats alone have got to be worth around $300 each, air bags, OEM stereo, carpet, etc... along with the other items mentioned..

of course it all depends on how much available time you have.

You can make a profit with just the hood and seats alone. also, that looks to be about 5k worth of damage if the frame isn't bent. Think ins. would repair it? It looks to me like the read bumper and 1/4 panel is all of the body that needs replaced. And the on;y reason the door won't open is the 1/4 panel is knocked into it

I bet the frame is fine. seeing that the damage is done relatively high on the car.
