    Looks like a ton of work unless you own a body shop. It needs at least a headlight, fender, hood,front bumper,intercooler, and probablly alot more than that. I would say its not even worth what there asking...

    Although the visible damage dosen't look too bad, I would be concerned with structural damage to the uni-body. Although such damage can be repaired by a body man with a frame rack, by the time you pay them to pull the uni-body back to spec,the collision repair parts,and labor......you'd probably be better off to find an EVO X that is straight. Unless you know people. My brother has been a body man for over 15 years and has extensive experience pulling frames and uni-bodies, and I've had the pleasure of working on a few as well...I'll be the first to tell you,this might be a can of worms you don't want to open.
