Re: I think it's wrecked

Except for the subframes, these cars don't have frames. Either way, it's fixable, just depends on how much time and money you want to put into it. I'm working on a project car right now that has a lot worse damage than that, it's all fixable.

Yup. Great thing about DSM's is that unless you really hit something hard, all the suspension parts can easily be replaced. My question is why would you put on snow tires already. They have horrible dry traction and aren't the greatest in the rain either.

Im in the same boat as you, Dont want to bother putting on new tires before winter and the current summer tires are getting pretty worn. Probably put on my winters this weekend.
