Kinda looks like the shock tower is bent in a bit but it's hard to tell from the pics. Looks like it does have the potential to be a fixable car but then again I'm not a autobody man.

I just got done doing a car that was hit about the same way, but a tad bit worse. Like Tudds said you could have a shop easily clip the car. You could probably make it with a 3/4 front clip.

Well actually it is not fixed yet. He sold it to me and it is on the frame rack as we speak. I am having trouble finding time between school and working at the body shop. The vert is my second TA that will be clipped. I will keep you guys posted.

The top doesn't line up and the doors um how do I put this they sorta shut 
. It will be clipped behind the firewall about 12 to 16 inches. The floor is in pretty good shape. The first car I built was in much worse shape than this was in, so this should be a breeze.
