Please make an offer on the car. It'd be worth about 7K if there was no damage, so it all depends on how much it would cost to get it repaired.
thanks

dude that is stuff all damage seriously, the most expensive part will not be the panelbeating it should be the actual bumper if they are as rare as all other old celicas
find somebody whos mates with a panelbeater and get it done cheap, a shop would ask around 1500-3000 to fix that....i know that price varies a lot but welcome to the world of panel smashers
for what its worth i know a dude who could help you out, get a few prices first keep them to yourself and ill seee if he can lend a hand and give you a price im sure you'll be walking away with a grin on your face and then of course you will want to keep the car

well, since theres not much interest, im thinking about doing it up again. Is anyone a panel beater and want to help me???
I put the spare tyre on and took it for a burl just then, it still goes and brakes well. The lights still work, just cracked covers. The exhaust hangs a bit low and rattles against the underbelly, but it drives almost the same as it did b4. The only thing i did notice was the steering vearing off to the right, but i think thats cause i need an alignment and cause the spare is a different size to the mag.
Anyway, if anyones still interested im looking for about 3K for it, as is, ONO.
Thanks
Ben

Well, i just went down and got a quote done at J & R auto care Ipswich. I may just do it up after all. Including all repairs to the body, painting and finishing i got quoted 12-$1500 cash to fix it up. This was well below my expected quote figure i thought it would cost. It would take them about a week to fix, but i'll say 2 to be safe and then it'll be good as new. Just have to fix the exhaust up, $100, and get a new outer peice on the 3 peice mag, $100. Then its back to being a 6-$7000 car.
Sooo......
I may fix it up after all then sell it for as much as i can get. unless someone wants to buy it for at least 4 grand as is.
what do you all reckon???
Its still up 4 sale!!! fixed or not, so gimme a yell if your interested.
Thanks
Ben

Hey mate there is pannel shop over this side of town that does great work. They were at the motor show and if you go to them and get a quote and then mention their stand at the show you get a discount! They also have a website which you can go to and request a quote on line! You just send some pictures of your smash and they'll give you a rough idea of cost!
If your interested i'll did up the website.
