Why not a coupe? Maybe with a silvia conversion?

strip everything needed to do the repair yourself,drop it off at a body shop to get the body pulled back straight maybe a new core support and new fender hood back on the road in no time!!!!!

the more work you guys do the less the shop will charge.

sucks to see the car end up like this but i'm glad everyone was ok. if you can find an s14 shell for a good price i'd say go for it, since everything will swap over. like if you get an s14 shell and need some interior pieces or other s14 specific stuff, you can pull it right off the old car. if you get an s13 shell and need little things like that you'll have to source them from some where. but either way, i hope to see the parts swapped over into a new chassis

i'd get another s14 shell for super cheap, do a kouki conversion with all JDM or aftermarket aero, do a badass paint job and swap all the parts over. You can even find a base model rolling shell and swap the 5 lug over and the full interior.

In the end you can have something like this with an SR in it:

WOW, sorry to hear. Glad to hear everyone was okay.

Here's a crazy idea ... look for an Infiniti M30 'vert and swap all the stuff in there. With what you're doing on the Z car, you can probably do it.

Too bad he did this in a nice car. It takes something like this for a young driver to wake up, it just sucks he wrecked the car he built instead of a beater.

I got into an accident couple years ago with the almost the same damage and i just pulled the radiator support out and still driving it. i would say just change the radiator support and maybe do a S14.5

Yeah a new OEM support runs 250-300. Its not a bad fix, no need to get a new one.

We say your build, you can do the repairs and then just have a shop shoot and blend it.
