i hate trees.
so i hit a tree and long story short i cant figure out how to replace crumplezones.. like i mean the obvious is to cut them off of a doner and weld them on... but idk you guys tell me? i only hit the thing doing like 20 but where i hit i was sliding sideways and it doubbled over the ''frame horn'' if you will. so yeah.

Depends on where you live you might have problems selling it and/or getting it inspected after you mess with the unibody. If it's just the radiator support those are fairly easy to replace but anything else takes know how to get it lined up correctly. And it will be a pita to line up I had to give up on a friend's Integra because of it.

Impressive work. How's it handle? Under a grand ain't bad considering it cost some clown's insurance about $900 when he rearended by then-new '06. Those OEM parts or aftermarket?
By the way, I'll save you some time - Fram filters s*ck. They have lousy anti-bleedback valves (whatever they are called) and the oil drains back into the pan. I used to use them and always had valves rattle. Switched back to Motorcraft and no more rattle.
