Default project: wrecked by ralph

hey guys I just purchased a 2005 s2000 ap2 with front and rear bumper damage. I went to look at it on Wednesday just to see if the guy would sell me just the engine and tranny for my 77 celica liftback, but it some how lured me in and I just had to have it. she's beat up but seems like she is worth the challenge and with a little tlc she'll be good as new. the guys wife apparently crashed it on the freeway one rainy day and drove it out of the freeway looking like this. the good news is that its not leaking anything because of the crash and the ac is blowing cold. I'm picking her up tomorrow and start stripping the carnage off. If anybody here in san diego has any parts laying around please let me know.

I see some panel gap issues Going to run you some coin to get that right - hope you've had a good crawl around and checked what is bent and where otherwise you might have bitten off more than you can chew. If it comes to it - are you happy to just take the motor and box out of it and sell off / bin the rest?

Definitely looks like a project.

On a side note, is that Walter White's RV in the back?
