Default New to the sc family (fix or junk)

My older brother told me I can have the car, if I fix it. -_- Is it worth my time ?

I would start pulling stuff off and seeing if it has any kinks in the front end frame area. If everything looks good, you are looking at needing :

Hood?(Cant see in pic)
Front Bumper Cover
Headlight
Fender
Possibly the front bumper support depending on how badly it got damaged

It really all depends though, do you want this car? If not, it might be more of a problem to fix it than its really worth to you, but if you like the sc and enjoy the car (Guessing you rode in it before it got crashed, not sure) it can be fixed with some craigslist and parts forum searching here.

Also, give us some more info about that car, that can also help decide if its worth it.

It's going to cost more than what you are suggesting.

Looks like a 95/96 Sc, check the current value of the car and any other problems beside the damage? Parts are pricey and it may cost more than the Sc is worth, but the Sc is a unique model no longer produced.

If you was in the car you wouldn't know it was crashed, He had just got it out the shop and the engine still puuuuuuuuuurs!!!! (its a beautiful sound) Everyone in my house has an sc. so I have an extra front bumper.
I think the frame is bent and every one told me that the car is totaled because of that and i should just buy a differencet car.
I was thinking of doing an interior swap to another sc we have in the garage but the engine is not as good.

If the frame is indeed bent, I would just cannibalize all the aftermarket stuff and get a new SC.

to me definately fix it, It doesnt look bad at all and frame, even if it does its probably very minor you can take it to a frame shop and get it pulled a little you already got a bumper and seems like if you got sc's you know where to get parts hit up the junkyard and you can get it all put it on and paint

There ya' go! Piece together the 5speed and you'll have a fully functioning sc300 and then part out what's left of the automatic
