Default Del Sol Rear end repair

The previous Del Sol shell I was going to get sold the day before I was going to pick it up.

There is another one locally but it was rear ended. I am wondering if I should keep looking or make an offer. It is a 1993 Si.

What is the best way to fix rear end damage?

I am going to look at it Monday, but here a picture that was with the ad.


It has a running D16Z6 but as you can see I would have to replace at least one light, the bumper, possibly the trunk lid, and unbend (or replace) the support.

Is it worth it as a project car?

Front fender looks banged up to and the rear quarter panel and possibly worse damage on the other side. Unless you have alot of time and deep pockets stay away unless you plan on buying it as a parts car.

There are more pictures on the ad and the concentration of damage is to the rear. The rest is minor work that does not bother me. I have fixed small stuff before, but never on a Sol, so I wanted an opinion on the rear end from those that are more experienced then I.

we need more pics of the rear to give a good recommendation. That pic doesn't show the whole picture.

Well I can see that the trunk and rear valence are trashed.

Do you have the know-how to fix that by yourself?

And when you replace the taillights, please, PLEASE, stay OEM. Don't get altezzas. lol

Bent frame = no thanks.

I will wait and see what the next potential project Sol might be. Minor body work is a weekend (or two) project.

Sorry to have taken your guys' time.
