As the earlier thread has pointed out, I don't think the car has been
damaged that badly. Someone with a set of front sheetmetal could
probably make a decent car out of it. I don't believe there's much frame
damage. The angle of the hit is virtually head-on, so at worst- you may
have some damaged frame-horns. The doors still fit well, and the cowl
angle is corrct. The bottom of the doors, front of the rear qtrs- and
even the front fenders- don't appear to have swollen seams- meaning
rust. The undercarriage pics leave a little to be desired, but i don't
see any major issues there either.
The missing driveshaft/tailshaft angle? : yep.. I'd say the engine
broke loose of the mounts.
Might be worth a chance if someone could actually look at it.

What do you think of how they picked it up? A highloader with a forklift
blades.

And check out the NO rear shocks or driveshaft...and the cool scroll in
the steel brake line going to the LR wheel cylinder! <G>

How about the sex lights that light up the pavement in cool blue underneath,
Honda style. Seems the passenger must have busted his knee on the dash in
that
front ender.
