Recap - driver in '2001 Camry made left turn directly in front of me
both cars doing ~30mph, both declared totalled AFAIK.

Picture of the damage to my '87 5000 tqa are at:

Id appreciate suggestions towards possibility of repair.  The damage
extent is that there is slight paint cracking where strut tower meets
firewall, but no deformation of tower.  Passenger front door opens, but
fender binds it ever so slghtly.  Windsheild stress cracked through the
qfans sticker a lower left of windsheild.  Fender is wasted and support
is deformed.  Car was declared totalled, but I have seen a similar
damaged tqa repaired.

If the car can be put back on the road safely for reasonable cost, it
would be ashamed not to.  I'd rather not have to strip it, but need to
make an educated decision.

Thanks,

Ben
