Yea....It looks like one of those borderline deals. If a guy could cut out and re-weld that section perhaps. The guy I got it from tried pretty hard to save it. Went to 3 different shops for appraisals and was told that the frame straightening would be around $3k.

I'm open to suggestions, I haven't gotten into it yet. But, I think it's had it.
I'm not surprised that it is not a cheap fix. If fixed it should be fixed right but even so it would always have that scar. In today's market they car is not worth fixing. I do feel that at some point Clubsport pricing will start to spike but at what point and how much and what's the cost to sit on that car until that point? Repaired how would that car compare to others on the market? I do not know of any Clubsports with less than 100k miles. I think the odds of EAG rolling out a 5k mile Clubsport for $50,000 (pulling up all Clubsport pricing) are pretty low.

How's that for no help at all?
