oh god, do not buy a salvage evo. the cost to fix it will be enough to buy a clear titled used evo. when you resell it, it'll be worth 1/2 of what the used value is.

Thats alot of time and work. I had a car similiar to that as far as front end damage. It sucked unless you have alot of tools and are friends with people that own a shop. That rear end damage is pretty bad. Be lucky is theres no frame damage. I bet your looking at 6-10k in parts depending on who you know then you are going to need some labor done because some of that will be hard. I bet you are looking at atleast 10-12k all said and done plus alot of your time to have a car thats not worth over 20k. Plus you will have 20k or more invested into it....atleast. I wouldn't do it unless you have the time for projects.

Keep us up-to-date on what you decide to do with the car. If you decide to buy and part out then I am interested in a couple of things.

I think I will pass on it for now. Too much front end damage for a part out.

I think most of the people here are drag racers, but I'd never use a bent framed car for a track (road course) car as the car will always be plagued with alignment/track issues. Rally on the other hand, hell yer jumping it anyway

Road courses is where my evo goes, hence the 2 bits..
