Do you think this can be fixed? Or is it too far gone? I was given first opportunity to get it for a good price. It has 450 hp at the crank and only 7000 miles on the car and engine.

Is the car fixable, and what do you think it would cost to fix? (Including labor, I'm not going to fix it myself).

 

Not worth fixing at all, buy it for parts

 

ditto...

 

That's what I was afraid of.

If I did have it fixed, what do you assume would be the cost? I'm sure several of you have some stories about cars hitting telephone poles and getting them fixed. Sometimes you feel like you need to fix a car because of sentimental reasons, rather than throwing it out and starting over... plus... there's a lot of good parts on the car, and I'd like to fix it rather than part it out.

 

Tell you what, you would make alot of money selling those performance parts.

 

crank looks like it took a huge hit. dont buy it unless you get it for less than 1000

 

I looked for two pics I knew I had and it seems to me I would just need everything missing from this car's front half...




Correct me if I'm wrong, because I might very well be VERY wrong. Obviously new front inner fenders and headlight mounting/radiator bracket and such would have to be welded in...

Man... this might very well be a big waste of time. I was hoping it wasn't since the engine is 100% fine and everything from it back is cool except the A-arm up front, the rear wheel that had the tire that blew out, and some underbody stuff I haven't gotten to access.

Sheesh.

 

As another user said in another post, 'anything is fixable'. The question is how much time and $$$ do you want to spend? It seems the popular opinion is to buy it cheap and sell the parts; which you would probably come out ahead in the end. But if the having the car means that much to you, you can still get it reasonably cheap, and you have lots of time, space, and ambition, go for it.

 

The unibody from the strut towers forward is trashed, if one were to want to fix that car, dont know why, be a good idea to look for a cut front clip another Camaro. Basically another Camaro thats been cut from the windshield forward, front 1/3 of the car. Then cut and weld from where that car was salvageable. Thats just for the unibody it self, then peace together every thing else. Doesn't really seem worth the time and money. Honestly, if it were me, which its not, but I would look for a clean roller, easy to find, and just swap the parts. Be cheaper then fixing that car which looks like has $5K at least in damage. Roller will cost you 2K max.

This is what I'm referring to as a cut front clip, hard top but still usable for the unibody portion you need

I wish you didn't find that neil. I'm having trouble telling myself I don't want the car now. Oh man... Someone slap some sense into me...

 

How much you got?

 

LOL

I went ahead and let this idea go. I don't want it anymore.

 

How much would they want for the CAI ?????

 

It was all or nothing. They refused to part it out. They sold it to somebody else after I told them I didn't want it. It was always kind of my dream car...

 

If you have the cars in your sig, why would you want that car??
