Fixable? Need A Opinion. No Honda But A Nissan.



I can pick this 240sx coupe for $300. But their a little radiator support damage. Also look like the pass side frame damage too.
I'm having a second thought about picking it up, cause the support damage...
What you guys think?
Can you post a straight front view picture of the car? Either way, I personally would go for it...
You could either:
Get a collision estimate, where they tell you what parts are needed, and how much it would be to straighten the frame if bent, and then you could buy the parts yourself and pretty much pay them for the labor.
or..
Part it out, make some extra money, and then salvage the frame.

Not bad advice if you have someone that you know that works IN the shop. The problem with that there is that most places make money on the parts, not the labor.
That's like bringing your own food to the restaurant and asking them to cook it for you.
From those pics. it looks very fixable. Anything can be fixed. You just need the right tools and know how.
If you don't plan on spending another 2 grand or more in just parts then I would look for another car.
