Surfing around brought me to this:

http://www.salvage-cars-for-sale.info/s ... le/page-1/

For those local to these cars, if you pull or have pulled the trigger and acquire(d) one I'd really like to know the DETAILS behind the process....

Lol well I see some nice stuff on some of these cars!

Front lips, rear mud guards, clear turn lights...

There is A LOT of potential here... At least in my eyes anyway... Bids start at $0 lol

There's an SE in Martinez CA with a decent looking interior. Worth $500-600 easy.

I came across at least 5 SE's on there. There was also a white ZE swapped GS in Ontario on there as well.

Might just be a sticker, but that's interesting, never seen one like that before.

And I own it. I have to go pick it up Monday. After fees and whatnot, I paid $770 for the car.

Im after the k sports, wheels and tires, cross drilled rotors, some interior stuff...and just pray the motor and trans are good. I might find some other neat stuff...have to wait and see.

interesting... yeah post up what you are able to get off that one... looked like the front end suspension could be warped/twisted/damaged... good luck!

Never seen that b pillar bar before either... hmmm

I second mooneggs comment, do post up what you manage to salvage from that MX3.

Engine will probably be good, the only part of the engine that looks like it would be damaged is the front cylinder head since it's aluminum it might be warped.

If the rims aren't bent, that and the money for scrap you'd get for that frame would get you pretty close to what you paid for it so I'd say it's a good purchase.

I remember someone making b pillar bars years ago that bolted up in the same way, I believe powdercoated too, don't remember any offered by corksport though.
