GOOD LORD!!!!!! I just saw the pics, dude, thats the frikin upper frame rail, apron and radiator support. That is not an easy fix. I've done that kinda work on S13's for a long time, spend an extra hundred or two for a blown motor chassis.

This one aint worth it.

Lol I thought the same thing as nismo knight, and I think the fact that they didn't have the quarter panel on the car in the picture shows it wasn't just a small incident.

Yeah, I've seen people do that in the past. Its just not safe in the frame rails condition, pulling it back out and reusing that section compromises the car's structure and safety of the driver and passengers.

But for the price that guy is asking, you could find something with a blown motor like Bryan said.

Am I spelling your name right motegineon? Its Bryan right? LOL
