I wanna give this poor girl a forever home... :(

At least one of the doors has been pushed back until it's out of square. The top and bottom aren't closing the same amount. That might prove to be a challenge.

OK so a 1/2" wrench AND a hammer...

 

[Bird76Mojo]

Do it. Its only money.

I wouldn't even know where to start on getting a wrecked vehicle to Illinois all the way from PA. I own a basically new 20ft car trailer but nothing reliable or safe to pull it with. lol

Uhaul trucks work well. Their half ton pickups are cheap to rent.

Uhaul trucks work well for contracting hepatitis.

Fixed it for you..

Everytime I've been forced to be inside a uhaul vehicle it looked like they just got done making a snuff film inside it...

I-80 is s pretty good choice.

 

[RustyShackleford94]

Yep, I80 to I76.

It would be one heck of a project to fix it up. I hate to say it, but I think you would need a body shop to at least make sure you get everything straight before you hang new doors and fenders and such.

I may go jump down the copart rabbit hole now, excuse me.

I'd be amazed if U-Haul would even let me rent a truck without having a credit card and having a credit rating of ZERO. That's what you get when you refuse to borrow money and go in to debt.

There's enough "play" in the 1st gen panels that aligning everything shouldn't be that hard.

 

[Curious Hound]

Just skip the parts that won’t align easily. Make an offroad beater out if it. Fenders just get in the way of tires anyhow.

I've rented trailers from uhaul with just a debit card.

Credit is unfortunately a necessary evil if you don't want junk lol, especially if you don't make a ton of money. A few of my buddys refuse to do anything to get credit, and they're stuck at home driving 20 year old cars that always need work that they need to save up for years to buy.

Life is infinitely easier with credit.

Eh, the worst thing I can tell from the pictures is the drivers side A pillar from the cowl panel down might need to be pulled forward a tad (unless they just didn't shut that door). Aside from that it just needs a dog house, paint, and whatever it messed up under the hood. The fact that the front bumper appears untouched tells me the frame horns are probably fine but who knows. Maybe it wrinkled the frame behind the control arms, i doubt it since it looks like a relatively light collision but i could have.

Thats the beauty of copart. Never know what your going to get until youve got it. Either way this has a mint body and interior that would pull far more than id invest into it.

I've never had an issue with credit preventing them from renting to me. I've always just given them my DL and debit card, no problems.

I do seem to have problems renting their trailers. When we last moved a few years back I wanted to rent one of their car dollies to haul our Elantra so we didn't have to drive back and get it. I had an Astro van that I wanted to tow it with, and according to the owner's manual it was well within its capability. They wouldn't let me have it unless I showed up with this to tow with:

Maybe they have relaxed that a bit now, but I have better luck with the local industrial rental place (think Sunbelt but not big and powerful enough to order equipment painted green). If I were closer to IL I'd offer to help haul, the old F250 loves a challenge.

 

[Bird76Mojo]

Alright boys. Cross country BII relay. PA to IL

 

[RustyShackleford94]

Im down to take it from state line to state line in IN if someone really wants it. Im on the eastern half about 30 minutes from ohio and 25 minutes from MI. My truck and trailer hauled this (my last project) back from WV.

It was the illusive 4.8 nv3500 4x4 but had a toasted clutch.
