It doesn't look like bad damage at all, but the parts availability will kill you if you are doing this yourself.

Thanks, AG. 
Those sixes are a perfect 50/50 and you can really hustle them around the corners.
Wouldn't be putting stock rims back on so that saves 1200 right off the bat. Sell the other 3 tires and wheels and pay for the cost of new rims and track tires.

Gonna take to the Jag guy Monday.
At least get a shoestring estimate based on what he can see.
I might be way out on parts cost and it may not be doable.

Damage doesn't look all that bad to me. A competent shop should be able to get it straight. My car just got back from the shop. Hit starting from the back, but all the way down the side. Similar gaps on the door and fender. You'd never know it except for one very small spot of overspray on the window molding that is being taken care of his weekend. Rear end needed to be replaced, but it aligns perfectly.
Same for the car that hit me. Driver front hub torn off at impact, fixed up nice now. They live down the street (hit my car parked) is why I know.

Dang, man. At least no one was hurt and they fessed up.

The only hiccup I can see is parts availability and cost. It's a unibody/monocock so if it's not bent to bad it'll pull but I didn't see a lot of bend, it's just a pic though and I can't be positive about that but if it's a track only car wgaf just run it bent and adjust the suspension to run straight. we have a couple of drag cars that are twisted all to hell and I know we don't turn corners but they still have to go straight and we just tweek the front ends to make em.

She couldn't have left if she wanted to 
but yes, that did luckily work out ok for me.

Kinda what I thought. My gut says it ain't hit that hard. Been a lot of years since I rebuilt totals, though.
Replace until you get to good stuff, pull it straight or close to it, and live with it out a bit.
The deal is gonna be parts cost: rotor, suspension pieces,etc
Now, you will have some stuff to sell like the stock seats, wheels, radio, interior bits.

True. That sudden stop probably ensured that.

Pretty good left front damage, just wondering what it would take to make it decent.
Track car, not for resell.
Looks like you could get that on the track and save a bundle compared to buying a brand new one. Probably you can get used front-end from a damaged car and come out pretty cheap.
That said... wonder what kind of deal you can get on this '02 ferrari?

Buy that car.
Get the title.
Steal another 2002 Ferrari.
Vin-a-rectomy.
Sell car.
Avoid prison.
Profit.

Yep it looks like it can be straight and you should make a nice dollar off all the interior pieces as well as the stock stuff underneath that you'll be replacing

Thanks for the site bro. Someone ran into the back of my challenger on Sunday. I'm searching it now for a SRT with front end damage. Gonna get the rear bumper, interior, maybe pull the axles out as well. Part out the rest and then crush it.
