Can This 3.5 Be Repaired?

[Marc]

I spotted a 3.5 in a body shop that didn't look too bad.....it looks like it needs a hood, front valance & a left front headlight. But are those parts still available?

Sure. All you need to do is find a 2nd gen that's been hit in the back. Check your local bone yard. There's no telling what you might come up with.

While I agree it can be fixed, I would first check under the hood and under the car.  You're checking to see of other internal parts are bent, especially the front part of the sub-frame, including the engine cradle.  What looks minor on the outside can be more complex on the inside .

As example, when i was at the bone yard I pulled the CRK sensors off a caddy that looked great with only a good whack to the right front quarter.  But once under it, the car had been bottomed hard enough to rip a 10" hole in the oil pan.  Not so good.
