Default my wrecked hatch

Well I finally got a digital camera and wnted to share with you guys some pics. My problem here is that I think this car has been in an accident before. I checked CarFax and it just shows records of it traveling from one place to another, from owner to owner. But I'm trying to take out the core support/ radiator support and trying to figure out the weld spots. Do yall know of any local part stores carrying spot weld bits for drills? Oh, and tell me what you think of the car... I miss this thing, I been bumming rides off everyone for abour 2 weeks now..





almost...











I was planning to sell it, but no one came up with the money on time to buy the other car I wanted... so now I'm stuck with it.

Ive seen a lot worse, take it to a frame shop and have it pulled/straightned and put it back together. It should be able to be fixed pretty easily.

yea I have too. I figures getting a new core support would do the trick. All it did was rear end a truck, which BARELY had an damage... and when I took off the bumper cover, I saw all this rust and odd welding spots... I mean, I don't doubt this thing has been in a wreck before...

How much does it cost you guys to straighten out the frame?

Well my Sol core support was pushed back about a foot bringing the frame with it and it cost $2,800 to fix. If yours isn't as major it should be fairly inexpensive.

thats nothing man a new radiator support is less than 100bucks and the frame shop woud probably charge less than 350 to straighten it. of course thats you taking out the old one and taching in the new one. but anyway easy fix.

Yea I thought it was nothing too. already got a new core support but just putting it in seems to be a hassle. I'll take some closer pics of the sides and show you these "odd" welds I'm talking about.
