should i buy this?

I'm thinking about buying this rx-7 but it looks like the frame is bent. is the bumper support directly part of the frame. It's deffinitly bent but is it part of the frame and can it be fixed for pretty cheap? The cars only $500 and he says with oil cooler lines and a battery it will run but with a rotary who knows! The rest of the car looks nice so let me know what you think. Thanks!

Yes the front bumper mounts are part of the frame, but not the bumper itself.

The picture you posted suggests the body has been modified in an unacceptable manner and probably would not be safe in an accident of even the normally minor sort; as in the picture.

I would recommend to search for an other car.There are many cars in good condition at a low price.Be patient.

Thanks for the advice! I ended up finding another 87 for the same price that runs and drives, and the body is just abount mint! I am hopefully picking it up this weekend, I cant wait, I'm so stoked!
