basically the car is totaled:(frown.giffrown.gif needs new rear and front bumper, pass tail light, passenger quarter panel, and may have a bent frame.


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?

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

yeah i love the car, love the lines more than my protege (but the pro still wins tongue.gif)

justin (my sisters bf) has a frame machine and everything i need to fix it. but if im going to fix it completely, i am giving it a new paint job and everything. i read somewhere about how you can do it yourself for around 50$ (and no not for the flat black spray can). link if i can find it

I'd say see how much its going to cost you to fix everything, if its worth it go for it.

NEG on that.
1st- you couls use this as an oppritunity to get a body kit INSTEAD of getting stock front and rears...
2nd- get a quarter off of a car in the junkyard..cheaper than NEW one
3rd- paint depends on brand ...clear will cost around 75.00 for a gallon and activator
4th- its a TOYOTA with 150k...you might have another 200k left in it!


IMO build it. or atleast built it THEN sell it. garentee that you would get more than 2.5k out of it

a new quarter panel professionally done will cost you over 2000 dollors.

thats my brothers old integra. the quote was like 2,200 or something.

i think your best bet would be to sell the car right now and add more money to it and get another car. he was able to sell that integra for over 1,500 when it had 150k miles on it.

ok nvm.

well like he said its NOT getting done professionally and to be honest, if he lived closer, I would buy it and build it up then sell her...make some $$

this car was dented pretty bad, the fender was rubbing on the rear tire, and i could hardly bend it back with the wheel bolt remover, so i had to get the spare out... too bad the jack got wedged in there, the body is semi crumbled. more pics in a few.
