Frame Damage (56K warning: 4x 80KB images)

I just picked up a 93 Hatch base model that was damaged in a parking lot. I'm going to be using it as parts for my 5-speed swap as well as the engine. After which the plan is to sell off the rest of the parts of the car to try to make some money back.

I was wondering how bad the frame damage really is, and since I'm going to strip it down to the chassis, how much it would be to have it fixed. It'd be nice to have a car to build up later.

Another car backed out in front of the previous owner in a parking lot. Previous owner was driving at ~15mph in parking lot.
Pictures are embedded.









Thanks for your help!

That frame is pretty damn tweaked...but can possibly be saved. At a cost of course..
