Which airbags do you need? We probably have several side curtain ones, might have a passenger front (dash) bag as well.

Otherwise, ebay.

Airbag module can be reset by MyAirbags.com - way cheaper than a new one. But that has to happen to fix it.

Side impact sensor may need replacement, if so I either have them from my FRS or could remove them if the cage isn't in the way. My FRS certainly doesn't need them.

That damage is fixable of course. I probably would have only used that car as a parts car since I avoid cars with real structural damage.. and that front pillar structure is definitely damaged. I've have them check the support brace that runs under the dash from side to side also although I suspect that held up and is why the damage stops where it does at the top of the door.

If you were closer we'd have all the body panels (except fender) you'd need for this thing but shipping 1/4 of a car isn't cheap ha
