HEY GUYS JUST PICKED THIS BEAUTY UP SAT IN OHIO. DROVE 13 HOURS TO GET HER. -THANKS TOD- PLAN ON DOING A LOT TO HER AND MY GOAL IS 3 YEARS TO BE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE. :scratch: WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Link is a no go! :(

Oops try again thanks dan. New to picasa lol

Link works now!

Now what do you think? (waits to hear the worst)

Not as bad as I thought, although that quarter panel is going to be a pain in the dick. Looks like they didnt know how to pull a dent. I look forward to helping you with this project!

Also whats up with the welds on the rear left upper quarter panel? I seen em in the other pics, was it a diff rear qp?

Thats what im thinking... Im not positive though. Those welds will be an easy fix but the quarter and bumper is goin to be a pita

Yeah, well once you start getting pieces it will start looking more like a 7 and you can see if/where its warped to bad and fix it if need be. do you have a garage to keep it in?

Lol..... Nah man im in apartments... Its "parked" in front. Itll be garaged when im deployed though.

crap..... i just really looked at the quarter panel and bumper damage and compared it to the passenger side and im going to have to replace both.... at least half of the bumper area....any help is greatly needed and wanted. thank you

Does need some work it looks like. Good luck! Keep us updated.

haha ^ thats an understatement... ive been looking into this more and more and more. i think the best option according to the condition that my fd is in at this moment would to just purchase a front clip and transfer everything over. i even found a rhd one that i could purchase next month and start converting it over within a short period of time.... thoughts???

Sanded down the engine bay by hand with 100 grit sandpaper. Too cold out side to primer today... Hopefully tomorrow will be warmer

Nice! Ill help ya when I get out of school man, Id go with a LHD clip so you can use more stuff from it.

were in ohio was that car?

It was in Denver, OH. Got it from xxxtodxxx I think is his username.
