Well, it's happened. Sad news inside.
Is it worth fixing? This would be by me. I'm a good mechanic, but never attemped body work.
Needs 2 doors if you look close and the leading edge of the rear wheel well is tweaked too. Battery was not crushed, radiator and A/c is fine. Some wiring smashed.
Or find a Impreza shell and swap?
The details:
212K miles, runs good. Auto going out. Clean interior. Bought 4 months ago for $800. It was meant to be a rallycross car, but drove so well I was driving it every day over my WRX.

Impreza swap loses about 300 pounds to the car. And 99% bolt on deal. A few wiring issues and I think the radiator need something done to it. Suspension/engine/trans is 100% bolt in.

Well, looked at it closer.
The core support and the inner fender (structural) are mangled.
Budget reasons force this to be a d.i.y. project. Unless somebody convinces me that I can repair the structure to original I will be looking for a donor shell. BC/GM/GF or maybe GC. Budget is tight, like $300 then maybe another $300 in December. After Feburary is tax time, so then the budget goes way up.
If anybody knows of anything. Hit up my PM box.
In case you were wondering. I glanced the right rear of a lowered F150 Harley Davidson Edition. I guess three or four cars up somebody slammed thier brakes. I was just the unlucky one to be last in line.

$5000. That's the estimate. Basically everything on the driver's side needs replacing/fixing. Even the rear quarterpanel, as there is a wrinkle/kink in the rear doorsill.
So...Yeah....Reshell.
If I find an Impreza lots of good Legacy parts will be on the market. I'll let you know what I find.
