That car is in pretty bad shape... I know when I was rear ended in my old car, I had a little bit of frame damage and the car never was the same after that... This car look like it has alot of frame damage... I dont think it will ever be the same... But man, if I knew how to fit it, I would buy and keep it.. maybe make it my daily and keep mine as a collectors.... LOL.....

And you want to know something it took a half of a Z to put it back together and many suspention parts+ 3 windows and many hours on the frame machine. It took the body shop 6 months finish the car. The car looked like nothing happened to it. But after a while my t-tops would leak and the right door would have to be slammed for it to clsoe right. So dont sit here write bullsh!t like if you know everything. Once a car is involved in a major accident like that it can never be fixed 100% superman.

The same with the door. Had it been out of alignment it would have right after being fixed.
You can do alot to fix a car (in pieces, as you say), but the performance and handling of that car will always be suspect, when compared to an undamaged car.

you guys are hillarious. I work at the place selling this and have been a member here, g35driver and s2ki for a long time. This is a sweet deal for someone, I personally would buy this thing cause its so bad ***, but i have too many irons in the fire. For those that understand wrecks and how to fix them, We will proabably go ahead and have this car clipped. It will go thru the factory spot welds in the floor board and then be spliced on the posts, layer by layer insuring this thing is welded as good or better than the first time. We have a guy that does nothing but rear tail clips. We have sold guessing over 4000 cars that have been clipped and none have ever come back or had problems afterwards. For those with horror stories of body shops and wrecks, Find yourself a better shop next time. Any questions send me an IM.

Sorry, that car will NEVER be as good or better than it was straight out of the factory. Doesn't matter if you do a clip or not. Not to mention that if you repair it, it will never be as valuable as it was before the wreck.
IMHO- I would NEVER purchase a car that has had frame damage and/or repaired with a clip with the intent of making it road worthy again. Just for parts.
Best of luck to whom ever picks this ride up.
