I'm wanting to buy a salvage car to turn into a track only driver. Here are the pics of what I've found and need you guys to chime in with advice. Is this too damaged? What are the key things to "look for/stay away from" when taking this road to the track?

I'll be back with pics. I just realized I have to download them to my album first before I can post them.

Thanks!!

 

It's fine. You'll need to have the frame aligned and you'll need a front clip n' stuff but you can fix it for about $3K which is about what you'll get if you sell all of the stuff you don't need like the top, seats, console, etc.

 

Thanks cthree. What would you think this car will be sold for at salvage auction? Less than 10K?

 

around 6-8K depending on the market at the time...

 

I bought this one last summer for $5k:

 

This is interesting i always thought anything that needed the frame straightened was a no no.

 

this is an interesting thread, seams like track only s2k may be in the cards some day

 

where do you guys go to find the s2000? i kind want to buy one for a track car too
