Looked at the pics again... man that's crazy how that massive rear end collision didn't even damage the rear doors.

I'm guessing the new and old clip were all separate at the all the factory panel separations, meaning the final product will be welded all back up just like factory, right?

yes sir all welded up at all factory locations. The rear doors werent even touched in the collision. the roof buckles a lil bit near the sunroof but for some reason all honda's and most camry's do this when wrecked even in front end collisions. Front should be close to finished today then car will be off frame rack.

no the current car appeared to be sandwiched and both ends were damaged. but he said he is upgrading to 06 front so maybe just buying all new OEM parts? we'll let him answer.

He's converting the 05 to an 06 front end. So the front end parts have to come from somewhere.

*edit beat me to it

actually there is only 2 cars the carbon gray and the white tsx. the carbon gray was hit front and rear.the white tsx was hit in front. both cars are 05 but since i needed to buy most of the front end for the gray tsx i figured might as well convert to 06-08 front. Ive sourced some parts used and some new. I would like to find a tsx hit in the side now since i have all the doors left. K24 long block is for sale also.
