The REBUILD...
I'm gonna continue to update ya'll and post pics... maybe a mod could make this a sticky
OK...
Day 1...
I pulled the car into the garage...
Removed hood, front bumper cover (from under car), driver side fender, and several other misc under hood part...
A fix looks very very possible...
It seems that the strut bar stiffened the car and prevented the frame from being bent behind the struts...
The smog pump is destroyed too...
So far no major frame damage, or engine damage...
I'll post more pics tomarrow morning...
OK...

The mac h pipe is bent a tad... the air line was tore from it as well...
When the engine/ tranny was pushed back, the yolk was jammed into the tranny... may be able to pull it back. The motor mounts are destroyed...
Undercarage looks fine... no major damage at all... skid plate has some bark rom the pole jammed in... and the passenger borla muffler is a little bent up...
here come the pics

I need to pull the engine anyhow... i need to clear all that out to cut/ weld frame in...
And i'm gonna sand blast the engine bay, then paint it... and clean the motor real good.. also gonna pull the headers and wrap them with that exhaust wrap stuff...
lots n lots of work down the road...

I mean you have to figure if your going to be doing all this work to it might as well make it mad sick in the process....Just make sure to do it all right....don't want it breaking on you down the road.
Edit: If your engine has some high mileage you might as well go and get a bottom end for it....
