How bad is this frame damage?
Looking forward to purchasing this car off an insurance auction and I'm wondering if anyone here can assess the frame damage/other damage. I know I will have to change the fender, hood, and right headlight. I'm also interested in what is located the the front right portion of the car where some stuff is hanging. Mainly worried about the severity of the frame damage. Any comments appreciated!

This car has been modded already. I see what looks to be a drift bar. Hanging stuff is just wiring for headlight, marker, turn signal, and washer bottle.
I'm not good enough to assess frame damage based on that photo but the parts above the wheel, forward of the axle are replaceable.

Looks fixable. Does the door close with out issue? If so then the damage should limited to the front end. But can't really tell by one pic alone. You'll need to see what is going on underneath

Oh ...... that looks to be a project. Does the left front wheel "look like" it would track straight ... ?? Even if the frame is mildly bent, a sludge hammer and a come-along should bring it back (famous last words of Bubba). I reckon you need someone with some experience, to take a look at it ..... in person. humfrz |

Thanks for the welcome! Hopefully I can get this car within my budget and join the community. If I get it I do plan on taking it to a frame specialist. This is another angle can't really tell much from it but I believe It's not too bad since it looks like the hit happened above the wheel.

From that last picture, the wheel looks "straight", or at least not out enough that an alignment can't bring it back. humfrz |
