95 Max Fixing her up after an Accident

Hey guys, I was looking for a bit of help here. My buddy wreck is Max two months ago. It's not bad. He hit a tree on the driver side. Everything on that side was pushed back. Most noticable is the Fuse box right there is messed up bad. The battery was busted, and the air box was destroyed. Front panel is gone, and the hood. Bumper and grill, and lights are tore up. Question for you guys is how much work does it sound like needs to be done? How much money does it sound like he may need to spend if he can go to a junk yard or something? Is it easy to take body parts off of a Max?

lol......Yeah I have to get some pics from him. I don't think the Axle was messed up. Or anything near the wheels was messed up. Springs, and stuff was intact. Most of the damage is right in the front corner, and things pushed back

If he hit hard enough to damage the battery/airbox etc... + the fact that you are asking how to fix = no way in hell you or your friend will be able to fix this car properly.

Needs some unibody frame work, maybe some welding, bodywork, paint etc.... All beyond you two's skill levels.

Don't bother as far as I'm concerned. It's toast unless you take it to a body shop
