guys i need your advice or suggestions. our car got hit when we had the ice storm. it was a hit and run. my question is can this still be fixed and around how much. engine and tranny are really great and car is very clean. this really sucks :(

Done correctly, that is about a $4000-$4500 repair. New or LKQ quarter panel, aftermarket facia, absorber, and reinforcement, aftermarket tail light, quarter extension, trunk floor, R&I the rear glass, gut the back door for the blend panel. The best way to save $ onthe parts is to see if you can get a complete LKQ rear half and strip it.

Sorry to say, but that is a good money making hit you have there.

I hate to say it, but your insurance company will most likely total that. Fixing it correctly will be extremely cost prohibitive.

thanks. i figured it would be best to sell the car as is. i'm sure a lot of civic owners would love to get the motor in this car.

Sorry to hear man. Bad juju to the waste of life that hit you.

[Dj Buttchug]

yea its totaled. you also have some suspension issues. the rear wheel has mad toe in.

[Midnight Sun]

Totaled.

As mentioned, you have a lot of sheet metal issues, the quarter, the floor pan, the rear body panel. Plus a helluva of lot of R&I labor. Plus mechanical to get the suspension figured out.

It isn't totally un-fixable, but you are looking at whole lot more money invested than just buying a section from a wrecking yard and having a shop do the rest. I'd imagine the labor just to set-up measure and do some pulls would but this over threshold.

Sorry!

shitty. but if its got a b18 and the 5spd trans to match, you can make your moolah back. seats and wheels go fairly well off of those too.

maybe you should build up a > 600 dollar EG6 shell with your motor/ trans...

just part it out dude if u don't want to spend any more money on it.
