Do you have any pics in the car's current state of disrepair?

There's also a "beater" 300TD on ebay now, which if purchased for cheap may be used for parts.

It is a long way to Georgia,though.
Make sure you go through all options with insurance, looking at threads here first before abandoning Peyton.
