A few months back there was a damaged kouki for sale for 3,000... it needed a new headlight, hood, and fender

It was sold, but i shoulda looked into it more... Has anyoen done this? Bought it and repaired the broken stuff. I'd have it checked out by a mechanic and make sure the frame is straight but i think it could be a great deal

i do body work so i can prob help u out if u can come 2 Jersey. Check on eBay and for sale in forums for the parts. if the frame isnt bent its an easy job.

 

If its salvaged though...harder to sell

 

Sounds good... i'd probably just buy all the new parts on ebay or a junkyard. Slidin, i might have to take you up on that

There was this salvage title Supra on ebay... was the nicest supra i have EVER seen, the guy bought it as a pos and 'restored' it

 

juss lemme kno bro, if u can bring thru, id be glad 2 help out.

BTW im tellin u now, im young but i have ALOT of experience (i been workin wiht cars since age 11-12)

hit me up on AIM

WERD stay away from salvaged titles. Otherwise, what you think of doing is common - it's called restoration (although not so much of an old car)

 

I think its a great idea as long as the damage is purely cosmetic. As soon as you start dealing with more severe damage it becomes less of a good option financially.

I too was recently considering buying an s14 for around 3k that was in great shape aside from needing new bumper and hood and fenders. I ended up not going for it, but I was very tempted.

 

Where was this car located? I just might have been the person who bought it...
I found a car on auto trader a month back that was a 95 240 SE, with perfect leather, no sunroof, hotshot headers, fell aftermarket exhaust, and 90,000 miles. Bought it for 3,000. It had some front end damage; the owner said he ran into a guard rail. The damage was very minimal; the passenger fender was messed up the hood and headlight. It wasn't reported, so it has a clear title. I had been looking for a car for about 3 months and couldn’t pass it up. I am in the middle of converting it to an S15 front end as soon as the parts arrive.

 

Someone on the site told me about it... it was in PA... near york or reading... i'm not really sure

 

Ok, mine was in Kentucky
