I think you need a little bit more than the radiator support..... You may need frame work, that looks pretty extensive

Jimbo is right. Its going to be expensive. I would probably just scrap it or part it out. You can find 02-03 lancer for cheap.

yea was kinda my first thought to either sell or part just makes it harder when it's your first car ,well at least for me

..A friend of mine said he has a friend , that works with a body shop ,and told me that they can put it on a machine to pull the frame straight .somethin like that for bout $350

If your friend is serious about hooking it up for $350.00 to straighten the frame of that car, then by all means go for it, but typically something like that cost much, much more.
