Car was t-boned on the passengerside.
I'm just trying to assess the situation here.
my options being
1-Fix the damage
2-Buy a shell and swap everything over
3-Part everything out and cut my loses







\

what really botheres me is the seam behind the rear shock tower that is split. when i looked underneight it didn't look like it hit the center frame rail. but i think from the seam spliting it might be a little more tweaked then i thought.

suggestions

 

**** that is hard to say...
Looks kind of hard to fix that too... =X Good luck

 

get a new shell, it'll never be teh same again

 

get a new shell and new shoes

 

^^^ Yeah, buy some new kicks to work on your car with....

Ah...thats fixable...I have the body parts to fix that, too.
I also have a couple of shells that I can sell to you as well.

+1

 

Buy a shell!

 

A good body shop could fix that without any neg side affects.
And it would be cheaper then a new shell, besides a different shell might have an unknown history.

i agree. i think you'd be much happier with a new shell. things that used to be broken never sit well with me...good luck on deciding

agreed.

 

waht about that seam that split open just behind that rear shock tower?

i'm sending these pics to the body shop to see what they ahve to say

 

the shoes are older then the car
i've had them since 98

 

Im sorry but a new shell is answer. These days a R shell is only about 2K. Why risk it just get a new shell.

Ohh by the way I have a R shell for 2K incase your interested.

 

new shell for sure.

 

is the damage really that bad though
i mean its not like its a load bearing member that any suspension pieces bolt to. the damage hasn't reached the center channel yet only the floorboard is tweaked well from what i can tell

 

buy new shell toes

DOOD...I have like 5 shells that I need to get rid of...not badly but bad enough

 

get the money from insurance, buy your car back, get a Integra RS, swap everything over...put the rest of the money to bling out your rideeeeee
