How badly damaged do you think the frame would be on this?

How much are they asking?

That gets my vote for worst looking S2000 after an accident. Even worse then the Germany accident, just looking at the type damage it has.

The frame may be ok, but the parts to fix it will probably cost you more than the car is worth. Check the trunk & doors (what's left of them) to see if they line up. It's not a side impact so the frame may be alright.

Bad enough that I wouldn't waste any money on it.

Nope. Trust me, you can find a better one to start off with at a good price.

It wouldn't be worth rebuilding even if the frame were straight. Might be worth it to scavenge for the seats and driveline, though (assuming they're intact) if you had a different project to stick them in.

That car would be a money (and time) pit to rebuild...

Can you say Superformance S1? Drive line and bits and pieces are about the only things you would want...
