this is the car i'm looking at. just wanting to know how much i'm going to end up spending. let me know guys! 98 gsr salvage title.

 

it all depends on how much is left inside and the condition of the suspension, body, and motor.

the way it looks, my w.a.g. would be about 1500??? 2000???

 

As joso said it depends on how much is left.

how much do you think i'll end up spending to fix the left front and rear suspension?

 

Its kinda hard to tell from the pic if the front kncukle and rear trailing arm is bent, lca's shocksupper control arms. If you decide just to swap out everything and go 5 lug it shouldnt cost more than 1700. and thats jsut about everything. But thats 5 lug, dont know how much a 4 lug replacement costs. But im sure you could pick one up pretty cheap at a junkyard

You can't really tell, there may be frame damage

Check the shock towers, undercarridge etc.

 

wow it looks like he got side ways and hit a curb at like 50. im no body man but i think even if it were free it wouldnt be worth the time and money. i have seen shells for like 500 bucks before if i were u id buy this if its pretty much all there motor tranny inteerior and then find yerself a stripped 96+integra and put all the good parts onto it ive always wanted to do that but no place to do it. GL on the buy hope it all worx out

and somehow managed to not roll over!

 

Buy it for as cheap as you can get it and part it out...

Assuming it still has an engine/all the interior, etc etc.
You will make a profit

 

was the person driving trying to drift??

 

guys the car is fine its just sinking in quick sand.

where did the bottom half of the front rim go.


on a serious note. What are you pans for the car. strip it use the interior/engine. or are you trying to rebuild it. the salvage is going to be a hard one to get rid of.

how many miles on the motor?

 

gsr has 110km's on it. trying to rebuild it. i would keep my EK civic hatch, but i want a gsr.

 

i will take the pod w/ gauges and exhaust from you... other than that 120 for the lcas 200 for the coilover sleeves.... umm if you go stock shocks like 60 for the set.. steelies 50 I got an extra set of front lower control arms too for 50.... so 1000 get you back on the sreet basically give or take a couple hundred.....

Ill buy the tails

 

there could be alot more damage than looks, shock towers could be distorted, and it looks like the frame may be bent cause the door isnt flush

 

It definately has frame damage, and not something a frame machine can fix(which costs $$$ too). That rear suspension is going to be costly because I guarranttee it's not an LCA, I bet you anything that rear crossmember(part of the frame of the car, spot welded to the frame/floorpan) got ripped half way off the car. Me and a buddy of mine got a 93 LS for cheap as **** because of the damage to the rear, we got it fixed for about $200 because we did the work ourselves in auto tech shop and had the teacher weld for us but just to give you an idea of what just that portion of the project would be take a look at some of these pictures:

And keep in mind you would need to straighten the frame before replacing that crossmember or it will get all out of wack if you straighten afterwards, if you don't do the work yourself and can actually source out a good crossmember to replace it with, you're talkin some big bucks. You will more then likely also have to replace the trailing arm because chances are that the spindle is bent, that's what we had to do anyway.

 

what an awesome teg that wud be if the wheels are really supposed to tuck under the car like that and it would just start flying... just like the back to the future car.. i love that car.. hehe

haha no ****

 

buy it... go find a good clean title 98+ shell, or car that needs the useable parts you will have (integra,civic) at the cost of $500-$3000.. rebuild the clean title car and FORGET about rebuilding the salvage car...

i had a friend that was a dealer. i only bought salvage cars for parts.. the only time i rebuilt a salvage car was my (96' Rx-7) and it was a FRAME w/suspension and steelies for $1600 i spent a whole year and upwards up $10,000 rebuilding it to perfection.. and it had NO frame damage..

that integra obviously has suspension/frame damage on the left side. unless you own a body shop with a frame machine, or know someone (i mean know someone, your family, or best friend ) that will help you. do not try to rebuild it..

and i wouldn`t pay more than $2000 for the salvage car... i was able to buy them for $1500 all day when i used to goto IAAI auctions.

just my opinion..

 

I spun out recently and hit a crub only the back passenger side it cost me 1400 for body work and it wasent even that bad the frame was just a lil bent its gunna cost a **** load to get that running

 

i didnt read most of the posts but if the car is like that, just think of how badly the engine was beaten up. its not worth it.

 

a new car.

 

bottom line. The insurance company totalled it out, for a reason.

 

is that "back to the future" mode?? lol

so you can bring back old thread.

 

haha it looks like it was ready to go into hovercraft mode....if it's a hovercraft...you should buy it!
