It wasn't too bad. Even at slow speeds I was still able to steer it easily.
Updates:
I replaced both front and rear crash beams for ones that were in much better condition, as well as all the bolts since they were all broken. Replaced the hatch seal with one in much better condition. Replaced the hatch struts with oem ones, which are amazing. No more broom handle! And I am currently in the process of replacing all the struts and brakes. 1gb calipers, new ebc rotors and pads all around, and jnz tuning brake lines. Of course being the original struts, the rear passanger side gave me hell and the sleeve stayed on the knuckle. Will be grinding it off tomorrow. Drivers side came off with ease.
As the engine sits:
Cleaned the rear end for the newer crash beam and hardware:
New vs old crash beams. Even was able to replace the license plate holder:
Girlfriend cleaning the engine bay.
