Alright wclark...

Kidding, it does seem like a pretty good deal if you're willing to invest in it. It could be your daily driver/2nd non-show car heh.

You probably have enough USDM parts left over from your car to fix it up.

from the looks of this pic i dont think its going to be as easy as just hammering parts out. looks like both fenders need to be replaced,left quarter is shot right door needs replacing and allot of little brackets and parts. but id say if you know how to fix it or know someone who can it might not be to bad

The drivers side rear suspension looks a little bit bent, that could get expensive.

Unless the swing arms are bent. Project cars are great, but I think this is one that would need to be seen in person. If it was bought from an insurance company, it could be because there was some frame damage. Being that this had some side hits, you may never be able to align this one. Again, if it is a simple replacement deal, this would be great.

Personally, I think the ECU and motor out of this would be worth "upgrading" and then you could sell all the other parts out.
