That would be sweet, man! I think the door would cost an absurd amount to ship (if you even have one), but I'd take a strut for that front passenger's side wheel... I can of course pay you for shipping if you have it and don't mind parting with it?

I'd ask for a fender too, but I found one for $25 already off of the vehicle right in my neck of the woods. =D

Think I'm going with fwayfarer's advice - replace the strut, take it around to a few body shops and see if I get any hits. The big concern, from what I understand, is that both the A-pillar and B-pillar on that side are bent now, so 1)unwarping my roof enough that the sunroof can be closed, and 2)bending back the pillars so that the hinge and door latch registration is adequate, will be tricky for anyone willing to have at it. But I know I'm not going to get s**t for it as a salvage.
