That's not too bad! It could be fixed..

Lafora · 05-15-2003, 12:02 PM

i was expecting total front end carnage.

that's not even remotely close to scrap.

just fix it up

mr_sinister · 05-15-2003, 03:06 PM

yeah, that's nothing..
looks like you could fix some of it yourself with a mallet and some patience

So.. is the car a write off?? or are they fixing it for you?? you never told us.

If it's a write off and you buy it back, remember this.. after you fix it and put it back on the road.. your insurance company WILL NOT pay you for the car again if you get into another accident.. no matter how much you did to it and how much you spent, They already paid for it once... you'd be better off selling it.

i'll buy it off you as is if ya wanna sell her.

if you want to sell jus do a buy back and i'll give you 10% on top of that

Other than having to source and weld in a new rad support, and possibly have the unibody pulled, it looks ok man. Hell I'd drive it just like that until I could afford to fix it. btw, excellent time to get some JDM bumpers

Funny you should say that... read my newest post

That shouldn't be too hard for an experienced bodyman to fix. Make sure to get it checked as to how square everything is. I would definetely make sure of that and then have it pulled into shape before attempting any sheetmetal replacement. Often after pulling, the job isn't so formidable. if you don't get everything aligned first before sheetmetal replacement, what's to say that the replacement suff will line up?

wow, that's not as bad as i thought it would be.. should be an easy fix.. one question, do you take your car to a shop on mount pleasant? cause i've seen a really mint 2 tone silver hatch get repairs done there..
