Can this be pulled or is it totaled?

Looks like you could just replace the fender, front bumper and cover, light bar and maybe a little work on the mounting area. I will buy it for $1000...

Re: Can this be pulled out?
I'd be glad to fix that car for you, or buy it. Looks very nice. The only problem I see would be in the radiator support, behind the headlights. The rest is bolt on parts. Still doesn't look like it would be bad at all. If insurance gets involved, they won't value that car near what it's worth. Tell the adjuster to keep the estimate under total loss value so you won't have total history but I don't think that will be that expensive. Then you got aftermarket parts they use....

Re: Can this be pulled out?
I don't know what exactly needs to be replaced, but just looking at it, it sure as hell is not totaled!

I worked at a body shop for years as a repair tec. it doesn't look that bad to me from the pics.,I think you could fix it for not to bad a price.

I'm sure it can be fixed, but it won't be cheap to do it right. I just got my 02 WS6 back from the body shop a few weeks ago with VERY similar damage from a 5 mph impact to the driver's front corner. Final bill from the dealer totaled close to $13,000.

Re: Can this be pulled out?
If you know someone who owns // works at a Bodyshop, ask
him for an estimate not claiming insurance.
Keep an eye on the " Exterior Parts For Sale " threads
for the parts you need.
That will keep it from becoming a " rebuilt " title I think.?.
Glad you're ok, sorry to see a nice 3rd gen get hit!
Wish you luck!!

Re: Can this be pulled out?
Thanks fellas that gives me hope. I really don't want to throw away 15 yrs of hard work to do it again on another roller chassie. I already found a 91 RS parts car to cut the radiator core support out. I'm going to use the entire front clip with fenders, bumper support, and both doors from that RS too.

Re: Can this be pulled out?
Looks like the frame rail that is behind the fender might be a tad bent in. As well as the frame where the headlight holes are. Here is a picture of my Cam without its front end and you can see your damage is all over the area there.
Of course its not totalled. It will cost more replacing the bumper cover, fender and parts themselfs then fixing it. If you are having the insurance pay for it, then leave it until they come see it, if not, I would start taking things off and seeing the real damage.

Anything can be fix alongest you put in time and some hard earned cash. Your damage doesent look bad I had a simillar wreck close to yours but on the driver side though and I only have one picture for that but ill post it later when I get home.
