Thanks
i noticed the exhaust as well but did not think much of it because the car was hit in the front. when i get the key i will be able to move the car around, jack it up and check everything out. as far as other frame damage goes i have not seen any signs of it yet. after the car is running and everything i may take apart the front to see why everything isnt lining up how it should. if there is anything out of the ordinary to see under the bumper/fenders i will take pics and post them up.

well you cant register a salvage title anyway it has to be turned into rebuilt FIRST and a LISECENSED REBUILDER has to do the work and register it under his name than when it comes rebuilt than anyone can register the car as a rebuilt title and usually salvage is issued when frame damage is involved but could depend on other states im in IL and alot of states in the mid region have the same laws but ill be glad if someone can prove me wrong.

in most states a licensed rebuilder does not have to do the work! i rebuild cars, and i am not a licensed rebuilder.

salvage can occur to due to accident, theft, flood, etc.

Add a radiator or AC unit (can't tell) to the list of needs because dead center in the middle that one is destroyed. Just under the center of the header panel to the left. (last pic)

I'm curious to see what other problems you find because I could use a GS. Would like to know along with everyone else when the keys come in.

Yes this is the A/C cooler. It looks like whoever fixed the car just bent that part back and re-used it. The radiator looks like it was replaced.

As far as keys go I got them on Friday and they were the wrong ones. I talked to the place I got them from earlier today and should have the new set this week.

I took some hi res pictures this weekend, they are below the small pics:
