Spun out on the free way on the side of the road and hit a tree on the left fender

Spun out and this the damage came out of it

Front end is gone and frame is bent

how much would it cost to get the frame bent into place, lights, front end fixed basically.

would it cost more/less to just buy another 240... got one waiting for me fixed up for 2300

it looks like you would spend more than the 2300 getting this fixed. to the the frame straightened you will need to have the car mostly disassembled then your talking about 100 to put it on then about 60an hour to accually yank it, bout 4 hrs to do it, and it almost always cracks the windshield. then you will still need both fenders, hood, core support, both headlights, turn signals, parking lights, bumper support, bumper cover, odd bits like chrome and nissan badge, not to mention whatever suspension parts you damaged along with labor and paint, all to have a car that "might" go in a straight line if your body shop is really good. buy the new shell, swap over your good stuff and sell the rest, you may even make a buck or two.

yeah thats right id rather buy a new 240sx going onto the s13 instead of having the car in the shop and waiting to come out then paying w/e parts ill need to fix the whole front end of the car.. would of traded it in but the dealer was only gon take 500 for the whole thing so i just been stripp'n the car down and then sell the parts seperately.. maybe take some parts for my s13 when i get it also like the leather seats but maybe in the future i might fix this one restore it to its stock body had it before.. but damn miss that car
