fortunately the damage was mostly cosmetic, (Fender, Front Bumper, Lower plastic bracket, and some dings) and the bags were not deployed , apparently the previous owner had some goods installed but he remove them since the car came back with no tail lights and the intake+ maf sensor were missing also all interior ligths were changed to leds and Scion logos replace with toyotas

Nice job raising one from the dead. Seems odd with that amount of damage the car would have been totaled. Looks good now.

I think I was lucky to find it , and also the salvage dealer that sale me the car did a little work before , maybe to raise the price a little or give an impression that the car had a minor accident

I found this image in google using my vin number

Good job! I love seeing these stories...

nice! love seeing threads like this

how many miles were on it when you picked it up???

It had around 12600 miles.

Nice job! My BRZ had little more damage :D

It is indeed odd that car with such little damage was written off. But maybe owner did not agree to fix it and took the money. Who knows :bonk: Previous owner loss, your win :clap:

nice! pretty much brand new!

:thumbsup:

Sweeeeeet!!!!!

Vraiment impressionnant! Beau travail! 👍🏻
