Bought Salvage Evo And Rebuilt It - Heres Some Pics Of The Process
IM 19 years old-not having enough money to buy this car i found one that was hit in my dads salvage yard-the car was listed for 14,500 with no frame damage-all bolt on parts other than the radiator support-i ended up taking the car home for 8,600 after my dad pulled some chains with his partners and with everything being bought from ebay and car part websites around the world i finished the car painted for 14,000 with everything-car-paint-and parts-heres some pics of when i took off the crashed parts in my driveway and what it looked like after i finished it-i did mostly all the body work except for the rear quarter panel and the paint-let me know what u think

ive always wondered wth cars that have been crashed and rebuilt...is there any noticeable flaws when driving? By this i mean does the suspension still ride like stock or the steering still acurate? I would just think with a car beings crashed(dont know how bad your was) that alot of things could get tweaked around, or electronics shorted out. but nice way to save some $$ and built a nice car! body parts line up good?

There is no problem if you fix it right. It's good as new or batter, just not generally worth as much on resale. Who cares though, you get to have a lot of fun for less money if you can get a deal. Often times if your just Joe Schmo off the street you might not save much if anytign on a salvage. It really helps if you can do a lot of work yourself.
