My beloved 92 was totaled in April of 2010. I moved on for a while, but got the bug to see what she could still do. After tinkering and playing with it since this past summer started (made a thread for that bit of time), I determined the body was toast. Nothing lined up and it was far too rusty to deal with. Yes, it could be fixed, but with the money I'd spend in steel, I figured I'd find a body and be done with it... that's exactly what happened.
