Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 it is junk and not worth fixing. the post and rockers are toast and it would be cheaper to buy one not wrecked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 That car got stuffed in the side pretty hard. At a minimum you're looking at two doors, a center post/rocker panel section, and probably some repair time on the floor. The center post and rocker would need to be pulled prior to any cutting and welding, and once you've got that done, you're still quite a ways from having a vehicle that is ready to drive. How long has that car been parked with no window in the front? If it has been a while, count on replacing the carpet and at least the front seat due to water damage. And also, I can see that the rt rear wheel and tire need replacing. For what you'd be into fixing that car for a daily, you could buy my Caddy, and have money left over! tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 People are selling those 1st Gen Neon's non-wrecked for next to nothing anyway. Their resale is terriable, so the incentive to fix one just isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 01NFRs2k Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 My ex-g/f got a 97 neon with 19K miles on it for 3,000. That is pretty crazy for how many miles were on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Seriously, don't bother. For the amount of labor that will go into fixing that kind of damage to a 1st gen Neon, you could pick up a not-fucked-up one for less. blue book values these things in *good* shape at a little over $1000 usually.
