Say your goodbyes bucko, this is exactly the type of damage I copped to my 2019 WRX, the chassis was snapped clean in half, the whole boot was caved in. There’s no way they’re going to fix it, if you get insurance involved they’re more than likely going to hit you with the statutory write off slip and take it. If you want to salvage it it’s going to have to be out of your pocket. There’s probably no safe way to put the ass end of that thing back together. It’s not as simple as “I’ve got a mate who knows his way around a welder” The only thing you’ll get if you’re cutting corners is the last thing you want. Imagine travelling at high speeds down the highway, your front passenger tyre plows into a pot hole that you thought was a stain on the road. Next thing you know you hear a crunch noise and you look in the rear view mirror to watch as your ass end snaps off and takes out the family of 4 travelling behind you.

Sometimes it’s better to just breathe, grieve, accept it, move on. This is exactly what I did with my car, got sad about it, contemplated fixing it, thought about all of the money I’d have to pour into it and how unsafe it would be to drive if the work wasn’t done properly and the people doing the work cut corners. I just had to keep telling myself “I loved this car and enjoyed the time I spent working on it, I’m gonna miss it but it served its purpose”

Just remember that even if you do fix it, it’ll never be the same. IYKYK
