if i were you i would use this as the perfect time to go tube chassis
What is wrong with the V6 doner car? Why not swap GT drivetrain into the V6 chassis/body? I personally wouldn't want to spend a lot of time rebuilding something that probably has a salvage title and might never drive straight againFront side damage. See the pics. Great to hear the body panels are the same.

I didn't consider that. Now that I do I'm not sure tube chassis is good for a road car. Because of crash safety and driving in the rain.if i were you i would use this as the perfect time to go tube chassis
Engine still running, radiator not leaking. Though the belts both snapped. The air pump is damaged.Yeah that car took a hard hit. That's what I was getting at earlier. I'd like to see some more pics of the damage. Can we see the frame rails?
Is there another part creased in the back of the car?
And all surrounding plastic parts. Is there an exploded view so I can see what parts I need to order? There is not much left of it.It looks like you're going to need new headlights
Needs a frame machine. That rail needs to be pulledFront side damage. See the pics. Great to hear the body panels are the same.

Had a good one cut of at the wrecking yard. Inner side panels cut at the spring perches still attached. And bought the fenders and hood.more than likely the core support would need to be replaced as well.
Is the core support that fiberglass former that the headlights fit into?more than likely the core support would need to be replaced as well.
I did that with an AMC Jeep Eagle and it worked. Mostly. Not quite perfect, but much better than before.OR you can straighten it the way my buddy did his in high school with a fairl long very THICK chain and a really strong tree. He tied it around the tree and the frame and then got it going in reverse 5-10 mph before the chain caught it and yanked it out.
If you do this way please get it on video I almost peed myself watching my buddy do it 30 yrs ago. The car never really did drive straight, run right or fly nearly as well after that.... Just an overall loss of performance both on road and off/above it.
the core supports is the metal part across the front of the frame rails that the radiator attaches to. The piece you are talking about with the headlights is called the header panelIs the core support that fiberglass former that the headlights fit into?
