what now?

i wrecked my camry today... it still runs tho... but the entire front end is demolished... headlights gone, grille gone, and the radiator is pushed back so it is almost ontop my headers...

but the car runs... so I think there are things to be salvaged...

here's what i'm thinkin of doing, any opinions on what would be the best are welcome.

1- I'm going to look to find another 2gen camry that has like a blown engine, and buy it for 200-300 dollars, and then swap my engine into it, and my struts and lowering springs... and anything else that should go.

2- buy a 2gen v6 camry that is working, and just swap my struts and lowering springs into it and then use my 3sfe to build a race kart for autocross.

I like your Plan B. Just try to find a 5-speed V6 camry. They're fun!

As for lowering springs, I just put a pair of I4 struts/springs on my V6 and it sits niiiiiice and low. But that's just me, Mr. Cheapo.
