ouch!!! Depending on if the frame work is just on that particular peice or more of the car it shouldnt cost too much to fix it.. Looks like you can just replace the apron.. My friend got the whole post and core support welded on for like 450 and with that fixed you've gotten the hard part out of the way.. Good luck with the car

You suck.

Why'd you feel the need to post this in App/Cosmetic too?

Ya i wanted to save for turbo instead, so i took the abs fuse out and ran regular brakes.

The hood is junked big time. Im going to make the top of bedside table out of the hood.

Stock headlight/corners are going on. Stock hood i already have. Core, Core bar, bumper, hopefully 1 fender, paint and alotta work. And to pay someone to use a frame straightener

good job going with the stock headlights. go with stock or jdm lights. the aftermarket projectors make cars look like ricers.

Ouch. About a $4500 fix if a body shop does everything with OEM parts. Had the same damage to my del Sol before. Good luck with the repairs.

Unless you need the unbiody pulled and don't have a hook-up. But I'm with you on doing it yourself like you mentioned if you have the ability. Body work is too expensive.
