Cuz it ran and all of the structural repairs were done already. All it needs is some interior pieces and some body work.
If you've ever been in the market for a recked car to rebuild you'd understand how valuable a running car with airbags is. Cosmetic damages are given in any wrecked car. No going around that. For the price I couldn't be happier. I should be able to get it on the road for around 10k, 11k at the most. And for a broke college student this is a dream come true.

Hey, OP! Bet you can pick up a trashed Release 1 in a few months, for cheap!

Is not painting the riveted-on junk the new thing?

I can't help but wonder - if the blue one is any indicator - what those rear quarters under the Rocket Bunny flares look like on the RS... It's a pity, really. That yellow looks great in person. Not my cup of tea, but it is a nice color.

It's been like that for a few months now. If he can afford bright yellow wheels I'm sure he can afford to paint his arches.

The stock RS1 has a fat-looking ass to start with. Some people like that.

If you are going to spend money making your car look like shit, at least fill the rivets and joints. I'm starting to suspect it's not about the way it looks, it's to show you can.

I read somewhere on his Instagram he has a sponsor, so he can definitely get his fenders painted

That looks like it could be a still photo from a really bad Michael Bay movie..

Looks decent to me. Not a big fan of unpainted flares but hey if he likes it so be it.
Op, hope you get your car to where you want it.
