thanks brian,
I am not that worried about the bumper and hood, but more on other than radiator needing to be replaced or what other damage under the hood is more of a concern. Thanks alot.

I got there 15 minutes after you Brian -- my interview went later than I expected, which I hope is a good thing.

I'm going to try to go TMR and snap some pics for you.

Edit: by the time I found the place and everything, they were closed

From what I saw:

Missing VIN Tags:

Driver's Side Fender, Driver's Side inner door panel (quarter panel)

These panels seemed to be straight, but there is damage on the back.



The condition of the paint is hard to attain, but it looks decent.


There shouldn't be any frame time, from what I'm seeing.


New Parts:

New Headlights (each side has the clips broken off, you may be able to salvage them)
New Front bumper bar (the one where the hood latches are)
Driver's Side Highbeam:

Upper Bumper Reinforcement (about $80)
Hood (OEM is around $800, aftermarket CF is around $500, but fitment issues may come up)
Front Bumper Shock absorber -- that styrofoam bit ($38)
Front bumper cover (97 Style $239)
New Radiator: $200 (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...SC400+radiator)

Out of curiosity, how much does he want? If you feel like getting it into a drivable condition, let me know, it doesn't look too daunting of a task

It's not an impossible project -- I've had my SC4 down to about that level with just a few hours of work...

how much is it? I think it looks like its worth fixing, does not look like there is too much damage tomorrow, if you get the front end all brand new, it'll look darn spiffy and ready to cruise. everything else seems to look just fine.

supracoup3, dude you need a pedicure

I think it's definitely worth a shot...you could negotiate a 'lil on the initial price too, so it's not a bad deal.
