Update: It's been nearly a year but the car is coming back from the mechanic with a damaged compressor pulley(and probably the compressor) and some electrical plugs including the radiator fan connectors. I'm gonna check out a wiring diagram and sort it out and replace the compressor.

I didn't get the car 100% squared away because the car I was daily driving had a transmission failure and I had to rent a car for a week. It's just missing some wiring, an A/C compressor, the fog lights and the grill. I have all the parts I just need to get the front grill painted before I mount that.

I joined a Mazdaspeed 6 group Facebook as was able to acquire parts from various totalled cars. A very nice guy at Florida gave me over $2,000 is parts for just $180. Overall, I paid around $2,000 for parts including shipping and taxes. I got a shipping company "La Rosa Del Monte" to send the parts over. I would just give out their warehouse address when buying the parts from US junkers and even got LRDL to do a local pickup at one of the FB sellers home.

I paid about $2,000 for labour costs because my step dad had a long time friend that owned a junker a very skilled body shop technician. The insurance gave me $3,800 so I estimate I will only about $1,000 out of pocket.

Also the insurance companies in PR don't tend to get much claims so they get taxed heavily and in return have very low insurance costs. like around $100 a year for up to $4,000 in insurance coverage and rates don't increase even when having multiple accidents in a short period of time, lol.

I'm going to sort out the wiring, change the A/C compressor, get the car aligned and take pictures and then post and give an update on how the car feels to drive.
