94 eclipse in ROUGH shape, need advice!.

I bought this car a year ago as my first driver(for 500 bucks.. couldnt beat it for a runniny car).. its a great car.. It needs help though.
It has a salvage title and you can tell why too. Anyhow, I was wanting to know if anyone thinks this car is worth restoring. A part of me wants to fix her up and make her look good, I think the the dent in the back can be popped out and bondo'd up. I dont have alot of money and cant afford a new quarter panel or anything and ill be doing most of the work myself. The car runs and drives fine but as you can tell needs help. The front end damage hurt that corner of the bumper (the fender is fine) and bent the hood. I think I could probably replace the hood and bumper with ease.. though I believe the frame of the car is slightly bent, dunno how bad though.

Welcome to AF.

First question is... WHY DO YOU HAVE SPINNERS (NOT JUST SPINNERS, BUT SPINNER HUBCAPS) ON A DSM!!!
..

This will have to be popped out from the inside. Hard to see if that's a gashon there or not, but if it is, it'll have to be sanded, filled, and painted. I've actually got nearly the same kind of damage to my 95. Hit a fence though.





Front looks like u just need to replace the bumper and you said the hood the was. Take it to a shop and have them checkk the frame. It doesn't look like it's that bad from this angle, but worth a try just to have them check it out and get a quote.
