I bought the red one as a parts car with intent to use the front end parts to fix the white one, i hate to send the shell to a scrap yard if its not fixable but it was the high of 7 degrees outside today so i didn't have a chance to get the door off and see how bad it really is

Had time to get some work done, got my grinder with a cut off wheel and went at it piece by piece to minimize the damage to the body of the car


Had to get fender off to get to the hinge bolts



Couldn't get the lock to release so cut the latch off...

The car came with wheel locks on every singled stud and 2 different sets of them with the keys no where to be found.

So i had to improvise...

Self explanatory...

The door panel is in pretty good condition for the hit it took, even the window regulator goes up and down with no issues

Decent seats but not my favorite
