I was looking on craigslist, and i came across this car.

http://www.craigslist.org/pen/car/116018883.html

would this be an easy fix? from what i see, it would need a new radiator, possibly radiator support, new front bumper, new hood, and headlight. How difficult of a fix is this?

 

Not dsifficult at all..

Just installing a new rad support is a hefty penny though

 

really? about how much? im gonna try and do all the work myself, for the money's sake. dont wanna get those labor charges in there

 

Rad supports are relativly cheap. can range from 100-250 for that model.

its the labor that kills not the actual parts itself.

Intslling a rad support is pretty easy from what I hear. Just drill out all the spot welds.

 

Thats good to hear.

that car in good condition runs around $3500-$5000. So I'm thinking this project would be worthwhile. What do you think?

Oh, and BTW, if i do purchase the car, i will of course be removing the stupid tailights and rims

 

For 550 dollars thats a hell of a deal if there isnt any frame damage even though he says its not dont take his word for it. and if there isnt any other problems.

 

thanks.. i'll definetley look into it. are there any surefire signs that a car has frame damage that i can look for when i go see the car?

 

doesn't look too bad. pop the hood and take a look. hopefully that hit didn't bend the other parts of the frame.

 

easy fix, New Rad support. New taillights
