[V8] Crushed 5-speed

Hi All,

So I this afternoon I got sandwiched on I-495 south thru Delaware this
afternoon by a big old tour bus.  I was in the left lane passing it,
when the bus and came over on me crushing me between the bus and the
concrete Jersey barrier.   Moving about 70 mph, rode up the barrier
(without touching it with anything but rubber)  -- thought I was going
to be turned over.   I was laying on the horn and watching the driver in
his mirror... he finally figured out something was amiss and moved back,
but not before tearing the right side off the car.

The driver had no insurance credentials, though a cop did issue him a
citation for unsafe lane change.   Guess I'm in for a small if not big
fight for remuneration.

Anyway, before everyone inundates me with emails about what I'm doing
with the gearbox...  I was hoping for suggestions on parts.  All on
right side:  fender, both doors, all moldings, door glass, mirror, front
bumper, side turn light, and probably a door handle or two.   Or now
more than ever I need a '94 with a bad trans...
