I need help!!

I found an fc for sale that has been hit. It runs but needs a new right quarter and right fender. I think the rear subframe might be bent and the front right wheel is sitting about 2 inches further forward then the left one. Is there a sub-frame in the front? What do you think it is if not? and if there is a sub-frame how much work does it take to replace it? WHat else should i look for with this car ?

you're probably better off paying a little more for one that has a straight body.

in my opinion it would better in the long run to NOT GET THE CAR..reason..you are gonna be shelling out tons of money to fix the darn thing ..and you have no idea whether or not it will be driveable after all the repairs ..it's a crap-shoot..You would be better off to get a half decent chassis and a blown motor..better yet..be patient and get a car that may cost more than you intend to spend but is running and in good condition..don't get someone else's mistake..which is the car that has been in an accident..you are being taken for a ride..buy a decent ride..just tryin to steer you in the right direction..
