Default autobody folks, is this fixable??

What do you think?

I was just going to sell it/part it out,
but i'm thinking.. maybe I should just fix the thing.

Theres a good honda junkyard near me, where I can get the bodypanels..
not sure about the rad support though.

But yeah, any ideas on how much I might be able to get the front
end all put back together for?
not including paint.

Just any ideas from you guys who do work doing this sort of stuff, or even just do it on the side or something, I dunno
any input appreciated

your gonna need a core support for sure, aftermarket ones are like $90 bucks...aftermarket hood is like $45, and heck, why not get jspec fenders? labor to put it all on, im guessing no more than $300...

Will everything line up just as well with an aftermarket one vs oem??

yeh its out of pocket,
one thing though is that I was getting the whole car repainted anyways.. so it's just the bodywork thats costing me.
And really it was my fault that I crashed anyway so i'm not trippin..
just hope i have enuf. i might have to go with a 1stage paintjob or something.

JDM EJ1 95: luckly hondaauotmotiveparts has #8 for only $226 though thats still more than i'd like to pay,

Tad i hear you on the price on that coresupport but i just wouldnt trust an aftermarket one.Theres a couple of threads in eg forum about coresupports maybe you can ask someone on there who bought an aftermarket one how its holding up.

sup spoon,
yeah i dont trust those aftermarket ones either.
just called the local junkyard,
they say they've got the coresupport, and bumper reinforcement, for 160for both..
pretty good i think, i'd just need a bumper fender and hood.

hey man, those aren't the best pics to judge about what parts you need..yeah u def need a coresupport, frt bumper reinforcement, fender, hood, frt bumper cover, rt side headlamp assembly, rt side corner light, maybe a new radiator and radiator bracket(or bend old one back)...u might need a few clips here and there but all over it should be an easy fix. good luck man

Just hope the frame or anything other body strutures arent bent..thats when u run into some money for labor

hey tad,

like everyone said.... its a easy fix! ive used both oem and aftermarket on my full restoration on my eg hatch and the aftermarket fit like a oem unit.

if you decide to go with a aftermarket piece get it from here....
