Crashed a 90 240 FB

[Emperor240]

hey whats up. I live in detroit, Mi and i have a 5-speed 1990 240 Fast Back and i crashed my car and ruined the front end. :help, i was wondering if it would be smarter to split the welds and drop on a totally new front end (frame and body, no engine). Or buy annother 240 with a blown engine and drop in my engine and transmission . any help is wanted, advise parts ANYTHING its my only car and i love the thing. Thank you.

P.S. Im 18, in college and on some type of budget.

If you're on a budget, it's probably cheaper to buy a blown engine 240 and just swap yours in, it will be relatively cheaper.

Body work/paint is much more expensive than a basic engine swap.

I'd recommend either:a) Buy a blown engine s13 and swap in your engine, ORb) Part out what's left of your car and try to buy a good condition 240.
