    What is the rubber strap on there for?
    To hold the battery, box is broke.

    The car is worth more to me then you, so understand that.

    I'd look for a clean, straight 4-banger and transfer everything to it.
    Fuck.

    Both.

    K member looks fine and the unibody doesnt appear to look twisted. The fender gap and hood gaps are the same as before. Havnt checked anything else.

    And both.

    Another car?

    I'd really like to fix this one.

    I can't see a strut tower totalling a car..
