It's toast. Drive it into the ground then part it out.

 

I've got an 87 so that's my plan. Salvage yard gives about 2-350 for it.

 

^A monocoque is an entirely different animal. There is nothing you can do besides minor frame straightening... and even then, there's no guarantee it will drive straight.

 

To be pedantic, the FC is not a monocoque (the skin isn't stressed).

 

you can replace any/all of the panels in a unibody, although in an FC cost of repair exceeds value of vehicle.

i've seen bigger damage fixed. at the racetrack even.

 

my brothers 91 got T-boned by a bronco one the drivers side and a mazda cx-7. on the passenger side. neither of which had insurance. i wish had a better picture of it wrecked but they all got deleted.




anything is fixable. this job cost me 400 at the frame shop and 700 at the body shop it eventualy looked like this



the damage was lot more in the a frame inside the door, and the door sil itself like yours like said i dont have many pictures. but im just saying let a frame shop or qualified body shop evaluate the situation.

 

That doesn't look like the rocker panel was even touched. Look like it was just the door and fender lol

 

Woah! No, I'd pass!

 

trust me it did. look at the the primer on the rear . the a frame was what took the brunt of the damage . it looked nasty inside the door i just dont have pictures of it. keep in mind this was a 80's ford bronco going 40 mph. it was BAD you dont get hit that hard by something that big and just replace a fender.

 

whats the point in trying to save that car when i see boneheads on here all the time stripping down a perfectly straight,undamaged car,parting it out,and stating that the shell is going to scrap,save one of those and transfer any parts needed over to it,you just saved over a thousand in bodyshop labor instantly

 

A thousand?
Waaay too cheap.

 

Your baloney slicers are pointing the wrong way... Or maybe mine are. Hell who knows anymore

 

not really my buddy owned the shop and business was slow.

 

lol and its funny that you mention stripping a perfectly good car to piece together a wreck. sad but thats exactly what i did so call me a bonehead... LOL the red S4 i got was free, only cost me gas to have it towed to my house. and came with a T2 driveline, and complete harness and other parts. winner THIS GUY

to be fair thought it was a 91, with a fresh-ish rebuild. and the car was out of the body shop in a week, and the money i saved buying a wrecked car was MORE than worth it.

 

Yea I find it amazing that we are able to buy another car for less than body work lol. That is unless we do body work ourselves. In that case it would just cost mainly our time.

But...if we don't try then we won't learn and if we are just quick to throw something away or discard it then it could prove one of two things:
1) we are smart for not wasting our time, or
2) we are stupid for not trying.
Lol

 

the wheels are actually labeled, RH and LH...

 

& My wheels in that pic are indeed on backwards lol

 

it's not that bad, grab a t2 sideskirt or something and no one will ever be the wiser.
