Fix or start fresh?
Hey whats up guys. so basically i bought a car last week cuz i was super desperate and needed one. got a 92 dx hatch with a gsr already in it. got it for 3200 so not to bad on price either. get home and start messing around with it and notice that the whole front of the car is from a different car. I finally get around to taking the fenders, headlights and bumper off and see that its been welded/ screwed on in like 20 different spots. basically now im at a cross roads. figured u guys could help. options at this point are either leave it and say w/e , get it fixed , or get a new shell and transfer all the parts over. what do u guys think?

safety first, use your head. If you think its unsafe in anyway or your not comfertable driving it than park it. prolly find a shell cheaper than the cost to fix it the right way.

is the frame all good and straight? if it is just the top arms and core support that are all messed up those can be replaced relatively easily and cheap, there is a couple spots that sell the whole front clip (the arms, core support, bumper, hood, fenders) could look into that also. I say dig a little deeper, above all make sure frame is straight and go from there...FIX! =P
