if you get the parts used and find a good price on them the front end could only cost you roughly 500-600, if you take varun up on his offer you getting a rad supposrt and maybe rebar. a rad wont cost you much and if you do the work your self its free, then a paint job roughly 1000+. so if you do the work your self and get a good price on the used parts it could end up costing you only 2000

this might help you out…
now taht u show pics of it… its fine… u can repair it not a problem… but to insurance the bodyshop dude will quote u max prices and gave u 6gs…
it shuld cost u around half of wat they quoted if u find nice used parts
Sorry to hear man… But on the bright Side it looks easily repairable… Just use this as a excuse to do something crazy haha, Good luck dood
heh sometimes something that looks bad can be a good blessing.
It looks fixable… I’m glad it does, so good luck bro,
same shit happened to me 2/3 years ago i got the same amount.
That is re-pairable and can be done for way less than $6000.
I just had to do a front end fix on my S13 and here was my cost breakdown. I know the prices will differ since S14 panels are much harder to get. Also my hit was much harder to the point where my front end was sitting on the ground and hood buckled about 1 foot high.
- S13 front rad support (Brand New from Nissan) $400
- S13 Hood hinges (Brand new from Nissan) $60
- Labour to straighten fender rails and weld in new rad support ($500)
- Front end used (fenders, hood, bumper, headlights, re-bar) ($350)
- Paint ($500 blending into front doors)
The Labour rates are what I’m paying through a car dealership.
A good, cheap body shop is what you need.
Call and ask for Brij (pronounced - Bridge).
Say Kelly with the white 240 sent you. (for some reason he calls me Kelly - I never bothered to correct him because I found it funny)
But if you can, take your car to him, or at least the pictures. From what I’ve seen he would not charge you more than 4000 with paint…if you’ll keep it stock color.
Let us know what happens.
that s14 looks rusty
i would say get a new chassis
mabye buy back and part it if its a cheap enough to buy back
