This is how my night ended

[INTRIGUED]

Yeah, I suppose when its all said and done I'm glad to at home vs the hospital.

Hard hit in front + unibody = almost definately frame damage.I've noticed the fender supports buckle pretty easy up by the windshield

Considering the cost and the likelyhood of frame damage, I would do the shell thing as well, especially with it being front drive. There is a kid down here named jeremy that just destroyed his motor and tranny in his front drive, called me looking to sell it cheap. It was just painted and doesn't look bad for a budget job. Dark blue in color. I probably have his number around if you are interested. Just PM me and I will hunt it down. Glad to hear you are okay.

That shit'll buff out!

No seriously, buy an AWD shell :)

[JET]

I agree, might as well go AWD now that you have the chance.

[carltalon]

That sucks. thank god your OK.

I'm not planning on parting out my car untill the winter But I would be willing to take offers on the shell I just picked up from Jet.

[Kracka]

I say get a FWD shell, that will be your cheapest/easiest/quickest solution since I know you are pretty tight right now.

[INTRIGUED]

Well, I looked at the underbody a little bit just now and it doesn't seem to have much damage that I can see. That brace that is dead center going forward is messed up a little bit. I have the next few days of starting tomorrow so lift it up and take a closer look.


Mike I left a message at the shop for you btw

[INTRIGUED]

Well, I'm a little pissy at the moment. There it is, The proof that I am fucked and there is no way that I can save this car. It may or may not be fixable but never the less that much damage is going to cost more then the damn car any way you look at it. Just thought I'd share and show any of you who may be curious how bad it really was. Even the strut tower and bar were bent back.. Well, engine swap here I come I guess. Any one feel like giving a helping hand when d-day comes due? I am hopeing within a month give or take. Not sure yet.. :(

Check to see if the side frame rails in the engine compartment are bent. If it's just that front crossmember, you could weld a new one of those on. Probably not worth the work on a DSM though.
