I would rather have it totaled than have a Bronco that has had $30k plus of repairsIf the body shop follows OE procedures, meaning they put it on a laser frame measuring rack, hung targets and measured the amount of diagonal, it's toast. Beside the front and rear repair sections, there's no provision for these frames to be straightened/pulled according to Ford. Good chance the cargo floor, up to the rear seat is messed up and even with sections available, will dramatically drive the repair cost up.
Just looking at the pics, my guess is the $30K+ area. The frame itself, which is showing 5 available, has a list price of $5,551.88. I think the p/n is NB3Z-5005-K but would need the VIN to be sure because it's superseded 5 times since introduced. Not sure the time to do a frame swap but I'd guess the 50 hour range. You'd also need to replace all one time use fasteners and anything else that breaks coming apart. Still haven't dealt with any body damage at this point and would assume there will be some hidden which likely means a fatty supplement.
