yes i looked at it again and i think its finished.
Simply putting on a new quarter panel is not going to fix your problem at all.
Your whole back end is messed up badly.
There is a ton of things that would need to be done to fix that
again sorry and good luck

^Yup, the frame is probably toast
If you part out the car you might be able to afford a down payment on another SC(In another color hopefully?). Especially if you had something like say a black interior.
-You have a perfectly good engine, do a compression test and sell it on eBay
-Same goes for transmission
-Interior parts, particularly things like vents or window frames that aren't cracked
-Nakamichi Amplifier(If applies) getting harder and harder to find these days
-Front headlights if in good condition are worth $$$
-SC400 front spoilers are expensive
It's work, but any money takes work!!

And there are rebuild kits available. The problem is Hot rodding parts are relatively difficult to come by and expensive (1200$ for Cams!? 5000$ for a forged iron 4.7l block?!). To build a comparable 350CI SBC would cost 1/4 the price.

You would think, but not necessarily. Google search return one under 40k:

If you read the fine print it says that they have no way of knowing the exact mileage on any particular engine.
Although that engine looks to be in fantastic shape--i think i believe them when they say the mileage is low(30-40 000--too bad they dont know forsure though.
Mine has only 90000 miles and looks much more weathered than that engine.
