Default Ol Ford for a LS400

Welp traded one of my spare work trucks for this 1994 LS400, pretty good condition, on brbc adjustable coilovers, flowmaster exhaust. There is a LONG story behind this car, someone random told me its a POS and the motor is going out, the guy I bought it from said the previous owner did a motor swap. The random kid new the first owner and said there was no motorswap. With that being said, I give 0 F's. Car runs good, drives good, I do smell some oil being burned, mainly after driving it with a little bit of a led foot. Ill find out whats wrong with the car IF anything is even wrong with it.

Unfortunately I was tboned a couple days ago. But with the $$$ coming in, shes gonna get a bunch of new stuff. I really want to 5 speed swap it with a W58 transmission and kind of slide it around! I wanna keep it nice tho and no beat it up, so not entirely a drift missile. Because im liking the VIP game. Sorry for introducing myself with a novel but hey guys!

Welcome!

I would be very surprised if they didn't total the car out. That damage, even if it doesn't extend to the B-Pillars, is an easy $1500, too high a proportion of what the car's worth.

Welcome!!!

Judging from the differential coloring of fender to door in upper pics , I would say the damage has been repaired.

Damages were 4,500, she doesnt have insurance, paying me cash, getting two doors and the car painted.
