You wanna check the two crumple arms havnt been pushed back coz you'll need to get a chassi pulled if you want panels to fit flush. All the parts you listed can be bought on eBay. Lights, grill, bumpers, front end panel, fenders if needed and bonnet! Will cost tho if my Internet hadn't just packed up I would put a few links on but I'm on my phone!
Thanks for the reply guys. Yer I need to get a account so I can get a photo up like photobucket. I just haven't organized that yet. What do I need to look for to tell if those crash points have been effected? Cheers
Cracked paint and a difference between each side, like the gap between te left hand side ripples are less than the right hand side!
here are hopefully some pics. please have a bit of a look to get an idea of the car. sorry they arent great quality

Personally I would use the money you have to buy this and then the thousands your gonna spend fixing it. And just Buy a good strieght one! But that's just me after putting a ding on mine I wouldn't wanna do it again
Yer I'm tossing up between that. Just thinking tho as I'm still at school an paying rent I would buy this and start all the body work myself as my dads a qualified machanic and I'm am a decent welder. Say I could get it for $400 would it be worth it? Runs and drives ok has 5 speed conversion. Cheers for this help
If its only a guard, bonnet and bumper and its cheap go for it.
If it has strut tower, chassis damage just be careful that you are not buying a bucket.
looks to me like that front fender is pushed, im not any sort of a panel beater but i reckon might make a good parts car, if you can find a good clean shellmy opinion anyways
