84 GM tilt column damaged from thief

so anyway, some would be car thevies tryd to steal my camaro.. they got in, bashed the column only to find out the tranny was shot!....HAHAHAHAHA, so they left it in the middle of the road, door open, column smashed... why do i get the feeling this wont be an "easy" fix? whats the best way to fix it? and please dont tell me i need a whole new one, because of the ignition rod being busted, and the casing....

Re: 84 GM tilt column damaged from thief
You can get a new used column pretty cheap. That one doesnt have Vats. You have to take apart the whole column to replace the rod. Im not sure if you can get a replacement rod or not.
