Yesterday i had some time to see what is the real damage on my sc.
It seams the car has been hit exactly between the right front wheel suspension and the right safety beam.
Next week il bring the car to my mate so he can check the alining.
so after an hour or 2 i had al the broken parts removed from the sc.
Only part i dont have in my possession is the stock airbox complete with suction tube.
The mass sensor is stil intact.

Pic heavy update :

















Couldnt get at the bolts :



Reusable parts :



End result from the days work :







Removed steeringwheel airbag :







To be continued.

I'm stoked you're fixing this 400 back up! I would love to find a 2000 sc4... Super rare. I would definitely say wait on paint until you find a correct bumper. If you don't, you'll probably regret it. As far as motors, the 1j will be a little more fun and the 1uz will be more reliable. And it's a newer 400 so it's 290hp.. Tough decision!
