Wow that sucks. But there’s a reason the car was a total. Some things are just not worth the fix. Keep the faith young buck. Priorities are important. Make the best you through education and life lessons. The rest will follow.
UNless you are a master in mehcanics - you dont fix it yaahh I had one, for two years,,,, i had to make a complete rebuild, lots of problems but i made it, in my spare time.. as an hobby. But iam a master mechanic... tha car have several problems from factory.Had to make a part and reinvent parts of the car, in transmission. Even so, it doesnt worth the work, unless the car is for you.
