from what I can see, new fender, lower control arm, ball joint. Thats at minimum. Possible frame damage (bent/cracked), door damage and more. check it out VERY VERY carefully before buying, make sure you know whats wrong and what it will cost to fix it.

wow what do you know my 95 civic hatch back i bought for 500 had pretty much the same damage .......so far i have had to replace the following half shaft,lower control arm, tie rod inner and outer ...inner because all the grease in the boot went and why not replace it.......might end up replacing the upper control arm also since the car was lowered with coil-overs which to me limits the life of the upper control arm......just to give you an idea of the work for the do it yourselfer.....the new half shaft, inner and outer control arm cost me 104.00....and the lower control arm--i should have gotten the whole assembly--will end up doing that since mines bent----i got that for 12.99+1$ core from my local junk yard

im willing to bet almost all of the suspension on that side is jacked up..along with the axle. do not buy that car for more than 500 bucks.

the whole front end...
i hit the curbe at 60 mph...
the shop changed out the whole front suspension for 660 bucks...they used USED stock parts...just give you a head up on the price..
