p10 Wrecked....Fixable???
Okay guys, some of you may know what happen to my p10. It was hit in the drivers wheel well. So far from what I have found, it will need a new lca, axle, strut, uca, tie rod end and a fender. Sooo, what I am asking all of you is to look at pics and let me know if you think the frame or chassis is messed up too much to make car safe and fixable. The areas I am worried about is the fact that the area that was smashed is smashed into the tranny, can it just be pulled out??? Other things worried about is the axle was busted at the c/v joints, could it possibly mess up the final drive in tranny?? But either way, if you think something looks really bent up and messed up, let me know your thoughts. Here is all the pics I got. I think it is fixable so far, but just asking.

Okay, and also will any se-r parts fit this car?? Like take for example axles. This is a 94 auto, is there any other axles that will work, form like say a manual car, or do is the auto axle the only one that will work?? Or any other parts interchangeable.

I would find another shell and swap anything over that you want. SER axles will not work, the outer splines are different.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. Also I have seen parts online, the axles say limited slip auto and non/limited slip auto, I didn't know that the auto's had both, how can you tell on the auto's which has the limited slip?

It looks like the apron is damaged. Fixing that car is a no go in my book. Insurance totaled my p11 for similar damage.

The engine bay beam is bent that makes that car a total loss based on age. Plus it being auto it's a dime a dozen. I have seen clean auto p10s sell for 600$. Sucks man good luck with it.

You would need a new third link as well. That connect the top of the knuckle/hub to the UCA. (It has the sway bar link attached to it)

The damage looks too much as others have said. The first set of photos did not show as much damage as I see now. Although, you may be able to place it on a frame puller just to check the frame. The rest is just bolts going into holes.
