I am pleased to hear that your daughter is okay... that is what Truly matters! On the other hand, the loss of Inga is a sad one. Back in 2001.01, my wife was in a near near near fatal crash in "Helga", our 1989 244. My wife had her neck broken but fully recovered without surgery. Helga, on the other hand was three feet shorter with the engine shoved under the firewall. I bought Helga back from the insurance company and started from there....
I found and bought a 90 244 with a good body, interior, and a trashed engine. From there, I used a saws-all to remove the sheetmetal from around the engine and tranny on Helga and cleaned it up a bit. It's important to note that Helga's engine still ran despite being half way under the floor boards "my Wife had to turn the key off after the wreck to stop the engine".
In summary, we spent $600 to buy Helga back from the insurance and another $500 for the 90 244. Helga's heart is still beating very strong in "Grey's" body.
Don't forget the possibility of finding a good "body" with a trashed drivetrain and doing the ultimate transplant, especially if Inga's heart has been well cared for!
