The oldest cliche

To the person who was able to get their parts in a week I'm envious. My body shop is talking about months for some of the parts.

Ouch. I've had a few close calls like that. Glad that no one was injured and it sounds like your car did its job and will live to fight another day! Love a happy ending, and I hope it doesn't take the forecast months to make it happen. Final thought, if it were to have happened to me, I'd be looking at it as a golden opportunity to do a GT2 front end conversion!

Post a pic from time to time from the shop if you can.

the longest I’ve been without this car was 6 months when I had to wait for a replacement transmission from Germany in 2015-16. It really made me appreciate the simple experience of hearing the turbos during idle just after starting it up. I am definitely going to make a recording of that first minute when I get it back. I’d love to just be able to have that beautiful whistling sound behind me right now.

Similar horrid experience
Sorry to hear your story. When I bought my seal grey 996TT it was one of my dream cars. I had just graduated and got my first really good job, and I picked up my 24k mile example before I even sorted a place to live when I moved to CA from the UK!
Not kore than 2 weeks into owning it, i was taking a perfectly legal right turn when a Pontiac Fierro swang wife on his turn left and smashed me up into a curb.
It was $22k of damage to my car and My insurance Agent didn’t total it. This was back in 2010. It took a long 6 weeks before I had it back again good as new.
It now has about 66k miles and carved corners just fine on mountain roads this morning!
Your ride will be returned to you soon thankfully.
You our are in the Bay Area from your post, correct? PM me and we can go for a drive when u get yours back!

Christmas Came Early!
I got the car back yesterday and it looks better than it did when I bought it. I am so happy with the work. The final bill: $24,000 - 11,000 more than the estimate! I am happy my insurance company took care of it without a problem. I took these pictures today. It isn't even clean but looks fantastic.

I'm in the East Bay and haven't had a chance to drive to Walnut Creek since I picked it up. Maybe it was the body shop tech taking a joyride I would definitely remember seeing a slammed '63.
