I recently came across this 94 LS Sedan that was witten off. I'm wondering if others can tell me what they think should all need to be replaced.

I've found a used hood, bumper with support, and both fenders for only $200. I would need to have them repainted, but I would do all the prep work and just have them sprayed by a body shop.

I can replace and weld in a new rad support myself, but if any frame straightening would need to be done, I would also have to get a shop to do it.

I'm figuring about $2000-$2500 in repairs by the time everything is completed, and I think it's worth it because around here Honda/Acura's hold their value very well. This car has around 110 K miles, and a G3 usually doesn't sell for less than $6000-$7000 if it's under 125 K miles.


Anyways, here are the pics:








Tell me what you think, thanks!

HAH!


That's the same excuse I used for my car

 

id skip the g3 and buy that g2 db1 sedan in the back.

 

Problem is, they want nearly as much for it and it's probably hit nearly as hard...


Super nice otherwise though:







Not very interested in a JDM front either, just want to repair it to how it was stock

lol..damn that G3 looks like he might have hit a person ahaha

 

maybe the g3 and the db collided head on...

no love for the lil mazda next to the g3? lol

 

MX-3's are .

Could anyone give me a bit of help on this one? I know there are lots of you out there with far more skill and experience than me that could give me some info.

Thanks,

Jeez, if G3's go for that much around you guys, I should drive my car down there and sell it. I paid $5000 for mine 4 years ago, and it only has 90,000 miles on it right now.

Good luck with the restoration.

 

i say buy it, shouldnt cost more than a grand or so to fix...

db1 &gt; db7

aw.. but the v6 is a 1.8 ! lol..

Check the frame first for any damage, just look it over extensively.
If it has no frame damage, it will only be that exterior dmg, and possibly radiator support.

 

If they wrote the car off there could be a lot more damage than meets the eye. It looks like you are on the right path with the new radiator support, but i fear the front end might of been pushed back more than it looks.
Will they let you open the hood and see how far back everything is pushed? Does it look like the drive side wheel might be pushed back at all, that would be a lot of extra work, not just replacing parts, but maybe more frame damage. Espically if anything has been ripped out of place.

How are the head lights? They look like they are in one piece, but that might be extra cost. Looks like the airbags did not go off. See if you can start the car. If you can start it to check the steering and see if the brakes have preasure.
