wow! Thats not a bad price!!
You could sell the BRAND NEW brembos for like nearly 2k, perfect bumper 500, sideskirts, whole interior, etc etc.
Not a bad buy for 6k

This car looks pretty smashed. Sent it off to two shops for quotes.
Will bid on the item. Looks like a deal @ $10K+/-. Easily $12K to get
this thing back to semi-normal. Hmmmmm.... Should have made some
effort to see this thing as i was in NC last week. Bad timing. I am sure
the seller wants $15K++++

That's why you do a full clip. Cut it at the front pillars and the seam at the door. You go to welding in two quarters, a rear panel, and the rear pan and you're likely going to end up with crooked car.
