I just bought this shell for $80 and im not sure if this is fixable?! If so how can i fix it?

a good body shop can fix that. I got in a accident and my whole radiator support was destroyed. lucky me that i still had my RHD clip @ the storage so i decided to reweld the support.

ok cool thanx! and one more question is it safe to buy a pretty much bare shell and build it up?

It's repairable, but you should really take it to a frame shop to make sure nothing else is dicked up.

With that said, scrap price is decent...I'd take it right to the junkers. For the cost of a frame shop to check it out, and to repair it, you can buy a decent one
