Crashed R34 4 door, what should I do?

[ChadMcDude]

Please delete if I'm breaking forum rules. I have an R34 4 door [automatic, NA, white, early 98] that was damaged in a crash. I may be looking to repair or sell it depending on whats most cost effective. Would anyone be interested or have any advice on the matter?

Yep !

How good is the car ( before it was smashed that is ) ?

If its a clean unit get multiple quotes on repairing it.

Post up some pics of the damage so we can get an idea of whats involved.

I'm assuming it wasn't insured or you don't want to go through insurance ?

Then try and get a basic parts list together and source the parts yourself second hand and then get a quote for repair.

Thanks dude. Yeah shes uninsured hence my conclusions about selling/ doing whatever is possible. Like its pretty bad (see attached). All the damage is on that front right corner. I'm worried about the structural damage.

That's >$5k right there. Probably a lot more than that because the inner guard is smoked and the rad support and the chassis rail probably generously bent. Whether those parts are straightened (if it's doable) or replaced, will both cost a few bucks. Then you need all those external panels and lights and radiator and other plastics. The $$ add up quick.

You won't fix it yourself, because you'll need more facilities than anyone reasonably has at home, or even in a friend's workshop, unless that friend is a crashie.

She's done unfortunately

Back in the day when I had free time, I would disassemble the front end, bin any broken parts, tow the car to a panel shop and get them to sort out the front end structure. 

Then bring it back home for reassembly with second hand parts and possibly paint, or cashie job by a painter

Would be a decent saving but you would need a panel shop willing to do that kind of work, most will ask you to politely gfto

Sadly this is definitely damage that will cost more than the entire cost of the car to fix.

yep, just pry off the compliance plates and use for a rebirth ?
