I was in an accident that was 100% the other drivers fault. The insurance company sent me at check and I took my car to a body shop and they came up with $800.00 more in damages. Now, his insurance is going to salvage my car because it's not worth the amount of damages. I was in the process of getting this car (67 bug) restored and appraised. This car was in perfect condition before the accident! I don't want this car salvaged. What can I do to avoid this? Can I just take the check they sent to me and I pay for the rest of the bill? Please help!
