More pics would help but I think you can save it.
And I know it is more than a car, it is really hard to describe to a non car person what 'your' car means to you.

Sorry you put so much time into it to have some dumb bitch clip ya but it looks very fixable. Get the mechanical fixed first and then gather body parts as you can. It could've been a lot worse.
BTW, where did you find the 'PORSCHE' script door panels? I've seen them before but not sure what years they came from.

Dang dude, I'm impressed. Diggin the white rims on the burgundy. Nice wolf bumper too. Great example all the way around. But yeah I'm pretty sure you can fix it. The only thing is gonna be that body tweak. I'd help you out but ain't got any spare parts at the moment, good luck though man, definitely keep us all posted.

I can donate the headlight assembly and headlight bar, I have extra fenders I could donate but shipping them from Clinton, MS 39056 would be a little high (they are still on my parts car and would take a while for me to find time to remove them). Anyone in FL that could help out with those? I may end up with an extra header panel but it will be another week or two before I know if it is a spare. Heck I have an extra bumper but it would be alot of $$$ to ship, them things be heavy.
Look at it this way boys and girls, it is a way for you to give someone who appears to deserve it an early Christmas present.
If just 10 folks here will be willing to cough up something he could be on his way to geetting this car back on the road where it belongs.
Who else can help out????
83 944 take a look at what I offered and let meknow what you think you need the worst, or first, whatever. Send me a PM when you decide.

Is there anyone nearby that could chip in a pick up a beater 944 for parts? two-three guys pick up a beater for under $2k, and get all the spare parts everyone needs! I can't afford a parts car like that on my own, but work it out with a few guys, and the parts car can be pretty affordable.
Sorry man for the loss. Looked pretty sweet. Datsun parts I have..944 parts..not so much.

I will be the first to help this guy out. Come on folks he is going to school and obviously did ALOT of work to this car. If he is willing to pay for shipping plus maybe a couple of extra $$ for your trouble who else can step up?

i realize you put in tons of work on this car, but in a worst case, if it turns out your ride is awesome parts car,
would you go out and find another 944. or one with a blown engine ?

I think the worst that will happen is you'll get money and just buy another 944 and use this one as your parts car... but no matter what happens keep up the great work. Though it is a great car there are things more important, but I understand your pain I had a car that I modded hardcore I spent 4k plus into it and then I hit a rather large animal and it destroyed all the hard work I put into it... I was very upset with it all but I'm glad it happened I realized I put to much on a material possession, it hurt my wife, my family, my Christian walk and it hurt me...
I wish the best man, 944's are awesome cars so look at this incident as an opportunity to make a better 944 than before.
Every bad thing can become a huge blessing.
