It doesn't take very many hours on a frame machine to total a car worth as little as a Civic...that's all I'll say about it.

There's no way to really tell from looking at pictures.

yeah, some people might chime in saying its bad or okay, but only in person could somone estimate the costs well enough to make that judgement. personally, what i'd do is get the car bad to stock (whatever mods youve done) and claim insurance on it, get a newer car and then you'll get a new project

That is the best picture ever.

Looks can be deceiving, have a local shop look at it. Besides estimates are free.

tie a chain around it with a come-along, and pull the damn thing out, i did it with my car...worked beautifully, it cant hurt it anymore than it already is, and if it doesnt work you've only wasted time and not money

I did the same thing on my old Ej, just a lot worse. Might be worth fixing, but probly not. Look around for a shell, or a civic with a blown motor. I found one for aroud $1300. Bought it, swapped everything over, and I have a new car lol.

Doesnt look THAT bad from the pics. Prolly looking 2000+ for shop to do it. Parts, labor, paint.

Cheap if you do it yourself. Prolly wouldnt be the best track car though. Unless you get a shop to do it.

I'd sell a car that has a bent frame, it will never be as strong as it originally was. Pull the parts you want and put it in a new shell.

lol, that picture made my night.

I would have to agree that is a great pic. I hit a deer at about 90mph in my 98 HX and thought for sure that my car was totalled. My front end looked about like that and they fixed it.
