Well, I would take it to a body shop to see if it had frame damage. If not, then I would check to see if your school had a auto/body shop. If so, a clutch kit, a starter and a used door/windshield should cost under if you do some shopping around.

^^agree

But I have to ask how that door got that way..."drifting". Burnt clutch only supports my idea that much more...just my .02.

Looks like there's frame damage. Scrap it.

Try to get some money back by parting it out.

DAMN DUDE how the h@ll did you manage that one?!!! by the looks of ot the door and the front fenders... are well Fubar, a junk yard will come in handy for that, like the other guys said take it to a body shop and find out if the frame is in ok condition, as the clutch goes your gonna have to get the flywheel resurfaced, and i think auto zone sells a oem replacement for 89 $ or somethin around there. starters the same alot of places will give you a core charge, so bring yours in and see how much theyll give you. good luck man and hope the car is in good shape sucks to see a fellow car in wreckage.....

Part it out. Use the money to buy another 240. Don't crash it.

I would definitely check the frame, and the scrap yard, or part out would be my very last option.

One way you can check to see if frame is bent is take it to Goodyear tires.....some places check the alignment for free. If they can not check the alignment at all, then the frame is definately bent.

I've heard there are shops that bend frames back but I've only heard I'd search. I'd probably part it out if there was such a shop the price would be ridiculous.

Any good body shop should have a full computerized rack/jig that will easily do this. But you are correct, its not cheap.
