Damn when I saw the first pic I was thinking that bitch must have like 600,000 miles on it The first thing you should do is add a TRD lip kit....if you can find a place to attach it, it will take away from the damage hahaha but seriously welcome to SG I'm sure you will be able to find everything you need and more to get it looking new on here.

Wait,

needs body work.

The hood and bumper look smashed. You cheater, you took pics from the best angle!!! (Only the 1st pic loaded, you added the others later). Ok, so, how's the front end look? Was it salvage title?

no salvage title, it has a clear title never filed on insure cause my ex sister in law didn't have any. no frame damage. how ever the core support will needed to be straightened out or replaced. don't have the bumper on cause the trailer that hit it ripped it to hell and back. air bags did pop or anything. no stress point in the doors are popped either. i had a few body shops look at it and they say that i got a damn good deal do to the fact that the air bags didn't go off and that there is no major damage just looks worse then it really is. it just rolled over 150xxx

lol no i added them all at the same time man.

gonna start picking up parts form a local u pull it yard parts are supper cheap there with 30days warranty like any other salvage yard. complete engines are $163.00 and trannys run $70 don't matter what it is or what it came out of. so gonna grab up what ever i can get my hands on to put up for the unexpected ya know.

as far as plans for it just a simple rebuild nice clean DD with bolts on. its a family car. maybe lower it with a 50 shot that's about it. nothing big. more vip with a lil get up and go to smash on civics and crap lol
