especially since frame damage is never a good thing to begin with. .

If it's a 92 wiith frame damage, there's a reason why it's totaled...

integra front ends only look good on integra's... and who wants to deal with the hassle of frame damage . .

yeah man, it sounds like its not worth it like these guys are saying. i mean yes, you could fix it. it is possible. but it would be a lot more cost effective to just find another car. i was in this exact same boat a while ago. new car is what i chose.

-take whatever mods you had done off of the shell.
-sell the shell
-buy a new car
-swap all of your parts over

i would say coupe over EG or EK anyday, it has longer wheel space and better placement so they handle better. .

You can probably get another one for close to what it will cost to fix it. I wouldn't expect to pay more than 1500 for a 92.
