Hey guys,
I'm looking at picking up a wrecked car as a project car and I just got some pictures of it. I am wondering if this is repairable. I am planning on doing all non-body work myself.
I am getting a PPI performed today by a local body shop, however I wanted a few other tertiary opinions.
It looks like the strut tower is intact, but the front wheel well is bent in. The car was in a front passenger side collision and this is the only major damage (front strut is busted too).
This is how that area is supposed to look (left most side of this image):
Here is the image from Real OEM:

Piece #4 is definitely busted, though I'm not sure if its repairable by a body shop.
Piece #3 is the part in question. Does anyone know if this is welded on? If it is, is it repairable by a bodyshop?
I'm leaning away from this car now because of this image. I was hoping that the body would be more or less relatively intact, but with this I'm kinda eh about it now.
