    What's the total on what this body shop might charge? This suggestion is for the extremely lucky chance that somebody with front end damage wants to sell their vx whole to replace the vehicle. Can't remember when I saw it (~a month ago), but there was a kaiser vx in Gainsville tx for 4000. It had a dirty history with odometer issues. Might be cheaper to buy a spare and do it yourself if it all parts. Then you can nickel and dime the rest of us like the greedy vultures we are.

    While on the subject of bodies... I've been thinking about making molds of the cladding in ABS for replacement parts. Anyone interested?

    Here's an option....

    At least this is what I'd do if I were in the same postion. If it gets totalled out buy it back and make a sweet off-road rig out of it, no doors and a solid front axle. Then buy another VX or whatever to drive. That's where mine is headin whether it gets wrecked or not. Just my $.02
