well i picked up accouple coupes for cheap and the 93 is a real chp and it was hit on the passenger front clip pushing the shock tower over a tad and messing up the radiator support a lil bit,.i found a shop to pull it out and i can do the rest of the metal work for 500-800 bucks,.heres my thought,its a real chp/it still has a clean title/the interior is emaculant (literally) and i plan on keeping it. my question is is it worth it??????? i calculated it out and WITHOUT problems then with fenders motor misc stuff and bumper ill have 2 into it.thats including wat i got it for, once again is it worth it?????? should i sell it and hope another deal like that comes around? any comments appreciated,thanks PS HOW DO I POST PICS ON HERE?????????

It has to be done correctly or dont do it at all
has to be good enough so u wont tell anything happened
im in the body shop biz i have seen some really bad hits get fixed the body man has to be good. apron and radiator support are easy shock towers are a lil harder but if the body man is good u shouldnt have a problem. good luck

Real CHP doesn't mean anything, it's not special because of it, sounds like a waste to me

People make a big deal about SSP cars, but really, they're not that special. If you like the car and it's worth it to you to keep it, then do it. But from an "investment" point of view, as a regular driver car, it's not going to be worth much more than a regular coupe.

I disagree. SSP coupes are a very big deal to those who seek them out...like me. (that goes for the GTS as well) That said, unless a full ssp resto is in order I would never go out of my way to have one as an investment.
