that LF corner needs to be put on a table to make it right. pull the battery and bracket and take a closer look underneath.

Whats that like a hydraulic table at a body shop?

[Safety Guy]

I believe a shop manual will have some body measurements you can take to see what all may be bent up and need major straightening.

If you just want to end up selling it. I would pay cash for a reasonable amount.

I'm less than an hour away & would pick it in by Wednesday.

[M3NTAL]

Where do you live ^^ Skim just asked me to ask, and do you have a aspire or festy ?

[Biff]

Find a big old tree and use it!

[Aspire]

I'm in Palm Beach.

I have a 97 Aspire for DD. But I'm looking for a Festiva for the PBIR (dragstrip).

If he wants a fair price, I have no problem paying the cash within the next few days...I won't low-ball him any offers, as long as it's a fair price (i.e. taking all things into consideration; both the good & the bad; an engine swap, damage, etc.)

If you want my phone number, just PM me & either of you can call tomorrow.

trees are your friend when it comes to structural damage! It rolled down a driveway and hit a telephone pole.

(the bumper was already FUBAR'D. the tow hook broke and it grabbed the bumper)

Hey, thanks! There was a stock one in Stuart a few months ago on CL...but it was sold by the time I got some money.

Tell me what parts you need. I can tell you (or your friends) which JY's might have them.

I have the headlights & might have a lense for the drivers side bumper turn signal.

...and I know a JY that has a 92 radiator, bumper cover & hood (slightly dented); $35 each.

They also have the fender ($25;but I can't remember if it was smashed, but they might have one next door at the other JY) bumper beam(~$20) & core support ($22)that you could cut out & weld onto yours. It's located down next to Palm Beach airport, though...but the JY next to it had the Escort GT that I posted up in the JY thread. So, if you & your friends ever wanted to take a trip one weekend & look at all of it...

I'll try to bring my camera next time & get you pics of all of it when I'm back at that yard.

You know, the funny thing about small European & Asian cars is that they are actually better off-road than most American 4x4 trucks. Their ride is smoother over bumps & they can drive faster through rough terrain.

I always scratched my head as to why I needed to slow down to 15 mph for speedbumps & rough terrain in my 4x4s, but my Honda, Toyota & Aspire can run over the same stuff at 45
