Engine swap

Okay, so I had my car on the road for 3 days and it already got front end frame damage from a street light, I'm going to buy an s4 shell and swap the s5 motor into it. Now, I have the site for most of what I need from rotary resurrection, but I wouldn't mind some more detailed help wih the swap from anyone here if I can get it hahaha thanks guys

Well, new plan, we're pulling the frame on the crashed car, it was nowhere near as bad as we thought it was, hoping to get this done soon, bought another RX7 ('88 GXL) and we're gonna use parts from it to complete my front end

its worth well the work although it might take a bit longer and cost a bit more but still will look good.

If the damage will affect your cars handling(camber/alignment), I would go ahead and put the stuff in the new car.

Hahaha, well actually, we checked it all out, and all the suspension is fine, as far as frame damage goes, it's really not that much, and my friend said he can do it for free, and weld some fishplate on it so as to reinforce it. After that, it's just swapping the rad support, and the cosmetics over
