took a couple of quick pics this morning.

take note of the position of the front wheels...
passenger side is straight and the drivers side is far from straight.
the LCA is toast as is the inner tie rod end.
i can't tell from these angles but the mechanic i bought it from said the engine cradle is bent too.

the subframe could have gotten bent but i thought the control arms where designed to give way before that happens?

to bad the rest seem salvageable ...
 
Take one heck of a hit to do something to the SF. The 2 bolt LCA's are very thin and bend very easily. Maybe find a tan rear seat to replace the rain damaged one. I know steeda's latest parts car has a tan int. Get a new LCA and some int. parts and whatever rear parts are needed. Maybe $200 and fix er up and drive for a little while. Sell for 5k.
 
So you are definitely parting it out? That's too bad. It doesn't seem like too much work to fix it.

Gut the interior for cleaning. And just FYI, I have a subframe and back window from my parts car in case you change your mind.

i didnt take pictures of the rear quarter damage.
it needs some bodywork and paint plus the rear bumper needs paint.
also the c-pillars are dented from the tree falling on it.
i really doubt i could get $5k for it.

havent decided yet....
but if i do decide to fix it i will be hitting you up for that window.

i have to start taking it apart to see what else needs replacing.
so far the list is:
Rear window
rear deck piece
possibly rear seat
LCA
inner tie rod
possibly sub frame
2 wheels and tires
side skirt
body work
paint
 
Fix it up and get it back on the roads. No need to see another SVT getting salvaged out....too few of them as it is.
 
looked under her quickly tonight....
the rear locating arm is bent so far it hits the exhaust.
and realized the drivers side skirt is trashed
the dash warp is so bad it almost blots out the sun
one interesting thing..it has a block heater.

block heater? was thing converted to bio-diesel? haha
 
stripped the trunk and back seat out last night.
its gonna take some work to clean it up.
there was an xtant301 amp screwed to the back seat and all the wiring.
i also think the car had lojack at one point because there is a round disk type thing with a wire coming out of it stuck to the inner fender of the trunk.

i got most of the glass vacuumed up, all thats left is the stuff that is stuck to the window adhesive.

i will try to get some more pictures today if the weather clears up.
