I'll replace the strut so I can move it around and gather up parts. I can't fix the pillar so that'll be farmed out.
    Maybe your dealership service department can help.

    Is the axle even damaged/bent? If it is... what about the transmission?

    Looks like a fun little project.
    Simplify and add lightness.

    Judging by the Mirage sheet metal thickness and the amount of damage, I'm guessing it got nailed by a runaway shopping cart in a parking lot?

    Looks ugly, but not majorly damaged.

    Wow over 10k that a crazy quote. Really doesn't look that bad over all. I kept a metro going after it got side swiped with junk yard panels. Though the door never close all the way. Make 16yr old me fear for my life at 6am while drive to school. Keep us updated on this.
