I have helped several friends recover their cars from similar front end damage.

Are you still in Washington State?

How deep does the damage go beyond the front bumper?

A local shop was actually able to source at least part of that bent chassis section from the Mazda dealer for a similar repair.

That was several years ago, but you might get lucky.

tomsn16 is parting out a "93 he recently got in.

Best contact him quickly.

I dealing with our insurance up here it is helpful to have a price list of replacement parts ready, as the insurance company has a low write-off threshold.

I think you have to take the list of parts you need into the Mazda dealer and have them look up the price for each part.

I suppose you could email them.

See what tomsn16 can supply based on your pictures.

I am thinking that it is the frame structural parts that you may have to try to get from Mazda, if used ones are not available.

Here is a list of part numbers for a car with similar damage. It is for an RHD but most of the parts are crossover from LHD (FD01)

[Right side intercooler is likely referring to the oil cooler.]

You can likely find a link to a parts catalogue for LHD somewhere on here.

The parts catalogue in the laujesse download is for Version 5 RHD cars.

Often you can simply google the p/n and numerous sellers will pop up.

Be aware of fake sites.

Ray Crowe is known for sourcing NIB NOS OEM parts.

If you try to repair with all NOS parts the coasts might be very high. But you may have to resort to a few pieces.

Here is a guy with two red fenders for sale in Japan. These are the size items that jessestreeter.com could likely quote you an all-in delivered price.

(Rates by courier to the uS may be high and the tariffs situation is creating extra documentation and costs, atm).

This guy seems to have some of the frame structural pieces you might need.

Again it might be some things you'd want to go through jessestreeter.com

The smaller pieces could come by seamail which is quite cheap.

Here is a more specific example:

Seamail might only be $50.

Here is an example of a front cut you can still find in Japan.

Shipping to you would likely be quite expensive.

A local agent here in Vancouver is able to consolidate large pieces like this and import by container. Something like this might cost US$300 to get to Vancouver.

You can see all the rally behind fixing it, I hope you decide to save the car. We really don't want to see -1 LHD FDs on the road. Keep us updated what you decide.
