Default Damaged Eclipse!!!

Ok people, I recently put my eclipse into the ditch doing and damaged some parts. I am looking to get this eclipse or another eclipse on the road. I don't have a lot of money to run and the parts that need replacing are the front bumper / reinforcement. I need to have the subframe straigthened via T-line i think its called. the wheels need to be realigned or adjusted, im not sure if its just bc the frame is bent or if the wheels substained seriuos damage.

Now the problem, I am either looking fora junker eclipse with a blown engine which i can buy and rape all the replacements for cheaper than buying new. OR I would like to find a car that doesn't run where i can swap the engine out of this one. Any site or suggestions? If you have one for sale let me know.

Why not just buy a new bumper ($150) paint it ($300). Get your wheels alligned, and LOOK at your wheels to see if they are damaged. Should cost around $5-600 tops. I think you should NOT buy a junker, and you would be lucky to find an intact 3g eclipse with a blown engine (usually they scrap them).

If you are on a budget, fix your car, don't replace it.
