actually not those rims used with no tires would only go for 200ish.... silver bullets arent popular and their small.... i dont know to mayb ppl that would buy them... and i would say there is no way u could get more than 200 outta them... the car is worth at least 500 if it have a tranny

+1 to what everyone said. Looks like its off to a good start. I would kill someone if I left my car at a body shop for 6 months and it came back looking like that. Maybe if I were getting it done for free or something but if thats not the case, I would recommend finding another shop to finish your car. I would of done that work in a week in my garage.

OK to fully explain what happened... the frame was twisted to the point where one window almost broke out and the hatch did not line up worth a sh*t... the drivers side quarter was bowed out due to twisting and there was alot of small dings and dents....the guy that owns the body shop is a good friend of my dad and he did the job as a fill in...it took so long because body shops get busy in the winter....he does alot of insurance claims and is the best around delaware... the shop pulled the frame two inches out and one inch up...it would usually cost over $1000 to just put a car on a frame machine not including labor....then they did the body work from the doors back because i have new doors, fenders, and front bumper....not to mention the roof was rippled...i have a complete new drivetrain for the car that includes a tremec 5 speed, new motor (stock bottom end) with aluminum heads,ported cobra intake, 24# injectors, 70mm TB, 76mm MAF, shorty equal length headers, aluminum driveshaft, and 3:73 rear disc rear and many other small parts...suspension includeds maxim motorsports caster camber, upper and lower control arms, tokico hp shocks and struts, frame connectors, strut tower brace, eibach lowering springs, and bumpsteer... it should be a done by mid-late june
