Wrecked Denali. Need parts advice

[Ben620]

Its a goner. You'll never get that post in the right spot, nor should you want to. Time to find another one.

Id like to see a pic of the roof to see if its buckled also.

The roof looks perfect.

I decided to have them bring it home. I talked to a mechanic in their shop and he said that I could take off the doors & panels and bring it in just for pillar work on their machine. Then find a used door and put it back together myself. I may consider it but I'm more likely to start parting out as many have suggested.

I'll take some better pics of the pillars once it's home and I have more room.

There's more to it than that. From the sounds of it, you still want to fix it, regardless of the suggestions we have given you. Yes it can be fixed, but if you're going to fix it piece by piece over the next XX months, it will never be right, and you'll end up having to do double work in spots. Last time I'll say it - part it out, its not worth repairing.

wow... can't believe you will attempt to fix this totaled vehicle. GL though it sounds like you REALLY want to fix it :/

How much for all the non cracked Wood grain interior parts And the passenger mirror?
Both driver and passenger window switches?, need the entire thing
As well as the cluster.

Are the seats torn or wrinkled badly?

It's very fixable BUT not a repair that you can rush by any means. If you can afford to park it and source parts at pick n pulls you can fix it for about 3k pulled and painted. Add 2 k to that price if your gonna leave it at a shop and rush them to finish it. As easy as there are lots of these to buy there are lots in the junk yard. If it's a necessary fixed today daily driver forget it. Buy a hoopty and part it out.

He said the A-pillar didn't seem too bad but he also stressed the fact that I was the only owner so I new there wasn't anything else wrong with it(seems like a sale pitch).

I'm calling BS Just look at the top of the door, that A-Pillar is tweaked.

Here are pics. I miss my car =\

If that dash trim isn't too bad, I'm sure anyone looking for a Double DIN might be interested.

Good Luck.

That what i was thinking. It actually looks good for a rollover. Given the first owner fact, $4k max should make the baby look nice again over Time. Who cares about the eventual wind noise and else. Throw back is that there was no full-coverage on the vehicle. Best bet is to do as much as possible w/o a shop.
I'm new to the GM platform, but from what I've seen digging into them, no matter how much you spend on a different GM of the same type, you just buy other/different problems. So, why not fix what you know the history on.?
Thats just my 02cents. Keep it,. Fix-It, Love-it, F-em. You Drive it, not WE.

Ben620' please PM me if you part it out. First dips here.!

Maybe next time you should have full coverage.

I'm sorry for this. But I bet your wife ain't driving your truck anymore.
