ok well...now i know probably everyone here is going to be against this but just hear me out and give me some help please....ok i found a mustang for 800 because it was hit in the front.....now i know to ask about the frame and if it is bent...is there anything else to look for....i am thinking that it was just a bad fender bender and i willl have the money to replace the fenders hood and the nose...so basicly if i go and check it out and it doesn't look that is it a good idea or what

 

Take some pics if you can

 

What year is it? What is the drivetrain? Buying salvage can be a good deal depending on the damage. depending on how hard it was hit there may be damage to the rad/rad support or engine accessories if you are really unlucky there could be damage to the engine internals (but it would need to be hit REALLY hard for that). MY 2 cents buy a turn key car something you can drive tomorrow, save the projects for another day. $800 for salvage is also probably high unless it is relatively new. I put a bid on a '91 5.0 with 190k km (non repairable) for $300 last saturday FYI.

 

well i found this 89 5.0 5 speed, everything is in good condition, but the thing is that it needs body fixing...i haavn't yet seen it but it can't be worse than my car

 

desperation leads to bad decisions. wait for the right one.
