Jeff, fix it, bring it back from the dead.

It makes me sick to see the before and after pics

Edit: yup, it sure is the same car. Last post in that thread:

Gotta be the same car.

It actually looks like a really easy fix. But working from Fritz's business model it is worth much more in parts. I'll keep guys you updated.

Talking Crazy and I know it

Going back to the thread:
How much is your FD worth. Here's a shot after my 1st accident (happened March 07) since buying/financing (32K sticker price)it back in 96.
Oh, the rarity and the obsession you gotta love it (at least I do).
The damage I sustained to the rear is similar but then there's the front. Thank g-d noting was touched/hurt in the engine bay. Most severe was the rear subframe bend where the Lower Rear Arm meets the frame.
That and the OEM Paint job threw me back, especially paying out of pocket (don't ask, long story).
But I'm almost back in the game with the most important part:
(New DS floormat, use your imagination)
including some subtractions and some additions
Oh, its no Spirit R or RZ (I wish)-that stickers long gone

Dang, Sad to see it like that...

If I knew the location of the car, I would buy it and bring it back

If now, please let me know if you are going to part out the car. I would pick up few parts off of it.

What a damn shame, that was one of my favorite cars. That car definitely did NOT go to a good and loving home.

I had the same thing happen to my FB. Sold it to a buddy and he trashed it. Not quite the same level as your loss but I know how it feels.
