Hello everyone! New to the DSM scene and trying to get into a GST. So I have been searching around and not too many cars in price range that have a decent body so what I have decided to do is buy a shell and build it up. I have found a 95 GST that had been totaled due to side impact right at where fender meets driver side door. Seller told me that airbags had deployed which is causing the engine not to start. They say when you turn the key that you can hear fuel pump running but engine wont even crank over. I have tried searching in forums and was unable to find anyone having a similar problem. I'm trying to find out if this is an actual issue and if there is any way to just get the car running whether it be put a different ECU in or either remove or put in a new fuse or something little like that. Thanks to anyone that can help a future :dsm:er
