Question To part or not to part....

I was hit in my 96 GA, front pass side damage, and college student + not alot of cash= no collision insurance....

Thinking about parting it out, anyone interested?

Well taken care of,

Re: To part or not to part....

(You are not suposed to post stuff for sale in this section.)

that doesnt look to bad, is it drivable?

that passenger tire/wheel looks a little off

Damn dear!

If you are serious in selling,
then you need to post it here in the classifieds..

Good Luck!

Re: To part or not to part....

From the picture, I'd guess you need a fender, strut and knuckle, and possibly a tie rod. Doesn't look all that bad, and the front struts are easy to bend when hit that way so it doesn't twist the strut tower around. Measure the distance between the top of the struts, compare it to another car and I'm guessing its going to be straight. I'd fix the car, even if you are going to sell it, that way you will get more for it. Good luck, parts are out there.

Red face Re: To part or not to part....

Nah it doesnt look that bad, at first anyways, upon closer inspection, the core support on the front end is bent, as well as the upper engine mount, tie rod end isnt badly damaged, but the rack and pinion is toast, same with the strut and lower control arm,im just worried that if i tried to fix it , that it would never drive straight again

plus who's gonna wanna buy a car that was in a decently not good accident?

so I don't know, should i Fix it or part it out?

It does look like it needs to goto the frame alignment shop
That right side would all need to be replaced,
as for cost of repairs $1500-2500.
Here is a pic of the under pan diagram.
