yeah, so loss of brakes and wet surface is not good
![]() ![]() ![]() basically the car is totaled:( ![]() ![]() is there any hope left in it? here is some history, it was my sisters car, 150k miles on it, auto ST 1994. drives like a charm but sips a little bit of oil between changes. bought it in great condition for 1000$. her Boyfriend has a crude shop (its no where near ready to be opened, but he has many supplies/tools already), so his father, him, and i can all try to fix it (even the welding for the panel). would you consider this worth it? -------------------- 2002 Mazda Protege DX - Daily Driver

it can be fixed.replace the ft bumper and fender, take it to a frame shop, have them take some measurements and if it needs to be pulled then have it pulled, then go to the alignment shop...replace the quarter. prices vary. but it will prob cost more than the car was purchased for BUT you got a HELL of a buy for it
