16 hour drive? You should loan your son the truck and trailer and let him pick it up.

Your son needs to make the drive. He did the damage. Why should you continually punish yourself and absolve him?

At the price point of the car, it's not worth the money. If it's for sentiment, the cost goes out the window and it's done for the soul. I've seen 150k spent restoring a 12k family station wagon. Depends on the motivation. And the person's personality.

Im not talking about cost...I know it's going to cost more than the value of the car. Especially now being a salvage title. Im just talking about the shear amount of time, labor and expertise to rebuild it.
