Wish me luck!

check out the pics below. i just bought her yesterday, and it will be here within a couple of days. its coming from Washington DC. its an 04 with only 9k and salvage title
its seems like a hard hit, but should be an easy fix for the most part. right frame rail will probably need to be repaired.
saved my self about 10K from the purchase of a used one. took me about 2 months to find and win(auction) the right one.
anyone got parts, lol. can't post a WTB thread yet.

lol, should cost around 5k altogether
i am pretty good finding parts cheap
parts bought
hood $200
bumper $300
fender $75
bumper support $40

finding the headlight is killing me. the passenger airbag is the same as the regular lancer.

Good luck bro - that right front looks harsh. At least the back end is good.

Not bad, I figure you got a mint Evo for about $20K if it takes $10K to repair it which is probably way on the high side.

yep, thats the most expensive part. for my bros wrx, a collision shop repaired both frame rails, painted all front end parts and an aftermarket rear bumper for $2400.
