Good! Get her back on the road. Avoid trees.

its not that bad, ive seen worse get repaired. you will probably be in it 3-4 k on repairs. you should get a quote before parting it out.

My only advice is that parting out a car takes a LOT of time. :-) Many many many hours not only to strip it, but to pack and send everything.

LOL

3-4k? You can clearly see the core support tweaked through the hood gap. New core support will need to be welded in, and a frame rack will definitely be involved. 15mph front-end collisions will kink the frame if the core support moves. Beyond the usual steering/ball joint/control arm failures associated with that kind of accident I wouldn't expect that to have done any damage to the suspension points on the frame, which in my book = fix it. Any frame damage at suspension points = part out, even if the insurance says it's fixable, there's no use in owning an Evo with possibly compromised handling.

id repair that, its not TO bad. plus nows a good time for some CF fenders and hood. The front framing where the hood runs is gunna be a pain thou everything else looks kinda easy. ACD pump make it out alive? If your looking to do it on budget you can cut and weld the non supportive framing peices under the hood from a donar car, hell ive made my own on a few cars.
