How much is too much ? Crash damage rebuilding?

[StealthFighter1]

I've aquired two shells, two s14's one of which has front end damage,but a clean title, the other looks better but has a rebuilt title, the damaged is crashed forward of the shock towers , but the bumper support and bottom framerails and crossmember all that, are virtually intact, pictures would help, i know.but i've seen cars like this being repaired before, are there any hints as to what would determine too much damage ? or still repairable? , bent frames? ... cost? anyone else find themselves in a similar situation? anyone alse find thenmselves with too many projects?...lol what would be the best course of action if i wanted to repair this type of crash?...am i crazy over my head and stupid?

we (sfldrifters) should make a car together, everybody should get together and donate parts, time, and money. then the car could be like a macot or a rental or even auctioned.

what happens when they blow the motor up or crash it?

Well, why not swap vins and use the good car with the bad cars vins.. You will have a good car with a clean title.

But if the lower frame, and the shock towers are not bent then you can replace from the towers forward with doner parts.

if you go to that thread, thats my car showing the damage after my accident. I had to replace the core support/bumper support/radiator/fans and the fenders of course. car drives perfect but now it has a rebuilt title.
The cost for my repair was:
Core support: 200
Bumper support:100
Fenders:I dunno because i bought the whole kouki conversion. i believe it was like 400 just for the fenders shipped.
Radiator(koyorad):330.
Bumper: 80 bucks.

The labor was done for 800 bucks. to install my whole new front in though.
