I've been looking for a donor EM2 to put a K20 into. Came across this car that has been in a front end accident. Core support, bumper, hood, fenders and bumper cover are all gone. Frame rails are obviously "askew". Bottom line, in you opinion, is this frame damage bad enough to effect the driveability of this car? Would you say straightening/repairing the frame horns and reinstalling the core support is an expensive job?

Keep in mind, the subframe in this car will be junked in favor of the EP3/DC5 subframe.

 

should be good

 

looks to be fixable

 

Yeah its deff. fixable but your talking a few thousand to fix it

 

The right rail looks pretty bad, but if it were my own car, i'd have it straightened and welded up in a weekend. If you have a friend who does good work, you're good to go

 

Thanks for your input everybody.

Would you say I'm looking at more than $1000 in straightening and welding alone? I'm thinking I can source stock parts cheap enough if I shop around. It's the labor for non-bolt-on items that's going to make or break the project.

 

It looks like the only non-bolt on item you'll need is the rad support. I think those are somewhere around $200 and $300 to install, not including frame labor, or paint. Frame labor looks to be about $300 as well. PM me for any further info. Good luck

 

Let the welding and bolting begin.
