Full rebuild coming, great exercise for my mig welder and air compressor, as well as my HVLP guns.

 

Wow that sucks. You don't seem too bummed out about it though.

 

Not exactly the end of the world, but I could have junked/sold the car since I had no collision insurance on it and repairs are all out of pocket.

I am repairing it because it has......sentimental value haha

 

hows the front engine mount ?

 

Superficial damage, front bumper, hood, radiator support, AC condenser. Engine mounts are ok.

Good thing the local junkyard has a few max's in the yard. We drove it all the way home from NY with a crumpled hood, busted bumper and only 1 headlight.

Amazingly the radiator was still intact.

 

the VQ is obviously intact, i would also replace the lower rad support while u got the brow torch in ur hand and u r right there

 

not as bad as mines the blocked cracked car total seat beats saved me and air bags

 

Gotta love the rusted radiator support. I had mine replaced last year local body shop, $400 including parts and labor, i thought it wasn't so bad. I could stick my fist through it it was so rusted.

 

Air compressor will come in handy for that tire on the other car.

Have fun with your project. I think I'd enjoy putting it back together, which I could only imagine is similar to a puzzle.

 

heh mine cracked and broke in two pieces just waiting for some money to fix it!

 

HAHA, good observation!

 

Wow! I swear I was looking at my car. That's how my car looked when I bought it. The girl ran into an SUV, the only difference was the front bumper was still on mine. It hit the rear of the SUV just above the bumper, right in the grill, so it took out the hood, fenders, grill, headlights, corner lights, rad, rad support, air conditioning condenser, and relays.
Mine cost me about $2,500 including paint. Oh, that was also to replace the seat belts and airbags too.

 

Thank you. Found it a little ironic.

 

huh?
