Ok so here is the story.
I just got my 240sx sr20det swap super clean.
Well the other night, and talk about a nice night, I was out in the 240 in va. I was getting parts for my Volvo R so I can sell it.
Well I got caught in freak a** rain storm. I was doing ok not driving fast keeping it under control till I exited 295 The B.W.Parkway on to rt32 ever thing was fine I was doing about 20mph I got to the top and I spon out taped the wall
My core support is done bumper done need 2 fenders a rear tail lamp left side
And some body work down the left side.
It also looks like the only mechanical problem is I took a chunk out of my greedy I.C..... It does not look like and major damage was caused.
Here are the photos. The inc. co. Said its totaled I'm thinking I am buying it back and fixing it. What do you guys think...?

You can get the core support pulled straight.

I'm sure a good bodyshop can fix that rear fender too.

Ok I have time today I'll get photos of the core. Idk if been working on cars for 10 years now idk if my core susport will get pulled lol. I have full coverage but they totaled it out.... So I will get a nice check I got all the receipts for every thing he got done before I bought her. So money won't be too much of a problem.

I think what you want is the Kouki front-end. You have the Zenki front-end.

Flat black is cool but it is well over done now. A clean gloss paint looks better any day IMO. Except of course this sexy device.
