i think i just cracked the radiator and fan, i'll need to replace some panels as well


would it be cost effective on a car i paid 2000 dollars for to do this (i've got a mechanic who will do it for free all i have to do is supply the parts)

its a 93 celica and i will need a new hood, front bumper, and passenger front panel, along with a new headlight

if you get the body panels and shit from a junk yard so they are already painted, then it may be worthwhile.

yeah, definitely if you've got someone doing the labor for free.

^ ditto or is could be used as a demo car

Demo derby that bitch.

well to get the panels aftermarket, about how much should it cost

each junk yard charge you different price. If you have time, go shop around junk yard for the right one with the right color. If you get OEM part, it's $texas.

i got a frontend clip minus the driver panel and bumper cover plus 2 headlights and steering column and cruise control for 650

all i need now is a bumper cover, and passenger marker light

5/14/2007 2:48:31 PM

^is that worth it for a $2000 car?

5/14/2007 3:10:05 PM

well total everything should still cost less than 1000, and i don't really have the money to get a new car

5/14/2007 4:27:03 PM

got the front end off and everything nearly completely straightened

welding new header panel on tomorrow

then we just have to put the new panels on and replace everything we took off

only thing left to get is the marker light for the front passenger fender
