Well, another 180 degrees.

Assessor just called. Despite being able to source used parts for fender, hood, & bumper cover, he's still going to recommend totaling it since it'll also need a steering box & airbag control module (which they are not allowed to use salvaged parts for).

He's submitting his revised assessment that'll leave me with about $6700 to effect repairs. It should be plenty as long as nothing major is found during the repairs that wasn't on the estimate.

At least now we can get started on the repairs.
