Bent Frame n stuff

[dagger]

So i just found this s14 on the web for like $700 dollars like $9 000 pesos, I feel its in an amazing prize, mainly because Im 19 lol, s14 here are around $6000 dollars, its crashed, but I dont think its really that bad.

How can I know the frame is in good condition, or that like the car is actually a good project, im going to take a look at it tomorrow, is there anything I should check that is important?
Im thinking swapping the whole front end like this (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mah017o5mZ1r9p8vjo1_500.jpg) becuase na sr20 swap. (That would come later tho) but still i think this might be good. I think the whole front impact issue shouldnt be that big

It doesn't look terrible. For $700 what the hell. Look underneath the car and make sure it didn't get bombed up and over a median or something stupid like that.

It mainly looks like the core support and possibly the upper frame rail the fender bolts too is damaged from the picture. Those are not structural areas and can be fixed quite easily. It also looks like the drivers side inner fender is bent, but you could also pull and/or cut it out and tub it.

yeah I feel it looks that bad because it is like left there and its dirty n stuff, im going to try to lift it with some jacks r something

You are doing it wrong ... these cars cost a lost, and there is a reason why they sell 6000 and not 700. Wait until you have enough money to get one, or get a cheap car, but getting a piece of junk for 700 and then spending all your money on something that will never run is not the way to go.

You said it, you think it is amazing because you saw "700$" and "S14", and you are 19. Forget it, really.

^^^Only reason they sell for $6000 is because of the fucking drift tax. I wreck my fucking S14, I'd be lucky to get $2k out of it.

It's five lug, so that's a plus. Too bad it auto though

I gave that guy a call, He sold engine, trans, interior, and rear suspension, so the only shell is left, I will take a look at it tomorrow, and take pics, Im thinking is actually better to buy the $700 shell and spending $6500 dollars on a good engine, the trans, and the front end than on a like running s14, plus I wont use it as a daily driver, Im okay with having it as a project, maybe finishing it in 3 years watevr. i really hope the shell is in good shape,

the main problem is where the fuck am i going to park it lol
