Hey /o/, so I wrecked my 944 turbo (pic related - I removed the fenders, bumper, and hood to assess the damage). Anyway, I want to get rid of it, but I'm not sure where to look to see if anyone wants to scoop it for cheap as a parts car. Should I just throw it up on craigslist? Anyone want it?

The rest of the car is in pretty good condition. Tires alone are brand new as well.

you sick bastard

All the damage seems to be in front of the shock tower. Fix it and continue enjoying the car.

>>17709455
Now theres a novel idea! What do you think I would have to do to it? All of the frame damage was limited to in front of the front axel, so the wheel base should be ok ... maybe. I am not a mechanic though. The car won't start as is, but I believe one of the spark plug cables is bent or disconnected.

Sick kit. Name?

>>17709443
Thought about that -- should I list as a 'vehicle' or 'parts'? I would want to get rid of it all at once, if possible.

>>17709493
My dad's a body guy and does frame work all the time, so it's pretty easy for me to recommend fixing something like this. I would start with measuring the tops of the front strut mounts to ensure the rest of the frame is straight. Then pull the engine out and start hunting for a front clip off a parts car. Get the thing on a frame rack to straighten the rest out and weld it all up. Should be good as new. You need to be dedicated though since, as you can see, it'll be a lot of work.

You could do this. Or you could tie a slack chain to a tree and reverse until it pulls out.

find a tech school/highschool body shop they do good work because the teacher has to verify everything before it leaves have them pull out the fender apron and get them the necessary parts and theyll paint it to match

Is this unbendable or do I have to find a parts car with legit fenders
>>
>>17709343
Part it out for maximum $$ return.

haha actually I didn't even look closely at that photo its pretty clearly fucked i guess

heres the bumper situation
>>
>>17712403
car won't start but if I can get it to I might try that
>>
I would fix it...

I doubt the strut towers moved, looks like a minor hit.
>>
>>17712591
Or convert it to tube chassis in the front, make it stronger, then run through a group of protesters for maximum profit.
