Anyone with body work exp? - Scott - 08-28-2007

Does this look worth while to fix? Not my car, but I am thinking about buying it...

ok

There's damage right up to the shock towers so I suspect those have been moved as well - it will need a front clip. Done right, you're looking at $4-5k on a Miata.

Part it out... or sell it to Evan.

no, not worth it considering you can get a shell for almost nothing, hell a guy just GAVE one away a few weeks ago. Trust me, you don't want to fix that...

- Maengelito - 08-28-2007

haha, scott is worse than evan. but yeah, that looks like a lot of damage so i'd stay away unless you only want some parts

Well you cant get a 99+ miata shell for almost nothing - but its still not worth fixing (IMO) unless it was a racecar and had a bunch of $$ tied up in the cage. Buying another shell and putting a cage in it will cost $4-5k plus a lot of time...

run far away.

it was a street car that I was thinking about turning into a racecar, but the more I look at it the worse it looks. It does have low miles on the motor though......
