Recently got into a bad wreck. Anything salvageable?
 
I recently got into a bad wreck (see pics) and was wondering if there was anything salvageable. I recently got an engine replacement last October and have put about 2500 miles on it, and I'm able to provide documents for proof. How can I know that my motor is still put into good use?

Just wanted to know if my baby can still be put to good use.

Did the oil cooler or the lines rupture? I don't see any oil in the first pic so I assume not. A lot of bits and pieces will be salvageable.

You might want to pull your engine and sell in it in the for sale section or you can talk to Rotary Resurrection.

Op,

First I want to say I'm glad your okay.

Second I would say take the time. Break it down and sell off parts. From the pictures there is still quite a lot that's good.

Really sorry to hear about that but glad your okay. Like everyone is saying looks like a lot of bits will be good still especially the interior! I need a lot of stuff for my interior so of you wanna recoup some that way let me know

Going to clean up the inside (broken glass and such) tomorrow to find if there still are some useful things for the interior.

It was raining while on the way to work and while going on a slight downhill on the highway, my backwheels lost traction. Starting from the right lane, I spun a few times until the car got across to the left side of the highway and hit the median wall. We flipped and rolled over about two times after the collision

Still thankful that I was able to only walk off with scratches and bruises
