I haven't seen that Volt in person yet, but I was told the body shop gave an estimate of $13K-$15, so I'm betting there's some frame straightening involved....

The Volt is likely NOT a good fixer-upper. By chance it if was, I'd probably give it a shot to fix up as stock. The back of the Volt has a long and low hatch. If anything, it would be good El-Camino style.
