Can this be fixed?
 
Slammed into a pothole on the highway at 75. The radiator and fans were pushed into the crank pulley, ironically I made it all the way home without incident. But I boxed in the picture where the bend is in the frame. Fixable? Or do you think they will total it?

This is my beater 95' XJR that I commute in. Insurance guy is due out who knows when.

Looks minor (tough to assess w/o 3D pictures /video)

Anyway, I expect that a frame shop should be able to get that back.

Part of me hopes they will total it, but I do enjoy floating down the road in it.

Sounds like a true jag owner. I danced in the street when I sold mine. They do float nice though.

How big does a pot hole need to be to bend a frame!? Yowza.

The weather has been bad here, it plays hell with the roads, I think I hit the pothole and the chunk that came out of it. I was doing 75mph on the highway.

$3875 and three weeks to fix, mainly due to parts availability for XJR's.

Isn't that more than the car is worth?

No, just slightly under. But it is mint condition otherwise, everything down to the electric antenna works, which is rare on these.
