Just got the word today that my 1995 850 Turbo has been totaled by the insurance company. Mainly because thay couldn't locate a hood. The front end bumper ,cowling, lights, radiator are all damaged. It won't stay running without staying on the gas peddle but I think thats because some of the intake pipes are broken. With all of that said I'll probably offer to buy the car back from the insurance company after we settle. I had just put about $2400 into the engin to include head gasket job,wires,plugs,new intake pipes along with other stuff. It has black leather seats that are also in good shape.

Hoods are plentiful....sounds like your insurance company doesn't want to hassle with your car and just pay it off.

Air bag didn't deploy which could be because I had receintly unplugged it when I had the dash off and might have not reconnected properly. I might make an offer to buy back from the insurance company depending what the price will be. Your right about the hoods...I located three here in Atl although they weren't black.
