no it still runs and drives the rad support is bent but the frame rail is still straight and it would just need headlights a bumper and a fender

If you can source the body parts from somebody's parts car or the wreckers, IMO would be worth fixing since the frame is still straight and most all the damaged parts are all bolt-on. Depends how good the condition of the rest of the car is too but could be worth repairing. I had exact same kinda damage from an accident on ice to my Celica and for $300 in parts from the wrecker, including retractable headlight assy, a few hours getting the old stuff off and replacements bolted up + $200 for a paint shop, looked good as ever and drove that car for another 100km.

I know this is kind of old, but... I just got another MX-3 here in Mid Ohio. When I am done taking all the good parts off of it, you can take what's left! Which will pretty much be the whole car, minus some interior and the motor and wheels.

its definitely fixable, depending how much money you want to spend fixing it.
