used cars are very cheap now.
Unless you are a car mechanic with permission to use the workshop and tools in your lunch hour, I'd suggest you look for a replacement vehicle. The resale value of a mended write-off like yours will be low.

lot's of things you haven't thought of will have been shaken by the impact.
I had a bad biff once, and even the hinges in my toolbox in the back were broken. So heavy parts such as your spare wheel mounting might have bent the boot floor.
Airbags and belt tensioners maybe, doorlocks maybe, parts of the body and underneath may have distorted, might be blood in the seats, steering column might be bent if hit, suspension parts and rollbar. Windscreen surround might be out of shape. Aircon damage. Oil cooler and rad. We can't see it.
Lets say £4,600 at a guess.
Are you saying it wasn't insured? What did you hit?

third party only. like an island thing in the road. door locks are fine. no blood. front and back full suspension costs next to nothing for this car. bumper, front and rear shocks, radiator, intercooler, head light, both control arms, new set of wheels and tryes, steering wheel, airbag,3 engine mounts , gearbox mount, and windscreen. Total £1100 cost
Passenger airbag's gone off. You need a new dash for a start. Unless you are getting a professional to fix it, you'll never get that back on the road and driving properly. Do you think you'll just be able to bolt all those parts on and that'll be it? Its beyond economical repair. Sell it for salvage, get another car and move on. Oh, and perhaps you might want to have a few more driving lessons.
Why not join a dedicated car forum for advice on this. Don't bother with pistonheads though as just too many teenage dreamers on there. Wait a minute......
