You know if I were you I'd try to convince your dad to buy lfranz's VX. It's the same year and color as yours and has a brand new engine in it. He wants $6K but when you think about it you're probably going to pay at least $3-4K for an engine plus installation, whereas you could buy his, put all the best parts onto yours, then part out the rest for $1K or better. Whatever you can't sell you can keep as spares so your dad (or the insurance company) don't have to pay for those parts for repair later.
