Everything CAN be repaired, BUT:
THIS is a total loss!
If this gets repaired, you really don't want to be in it when something goes wrong and you have an accident! Trust me!
It is ILLEGAL to repair this kind of damage in Germany.
In a case like this my insurance company would have baught me a brand new car.
Never heard before of changing the whole Body Shell
+ the springs, shocks and half the interiour, I assume?
Sorry about the incident mystic530
Did you get a complete list of what was done?

The list was endless. Suprisingly not much of the interior was damaged, and neither were the springs and shocks. Only the roof. Since it would weaken the entire structure if only that was repaired, they recomended to replace the body shell. Mainly the parts were all the electornics that are housed in the roof area.
