yes, it's wrecked
yes, there is frame damage
but, instead of buying a new car and taking on car payments, since i have some invaluable family resources, my wonderful pro, that was just about to go through a repaint, WILL live again.
it's all front end stuff...
not sure how, really, because the accident was: clip curb on 90degree bend in offramp, somehow fly sideways into ditch, both driver side tires off the rim.
parts i know i need to replace:
-a/c components
-radiator
-core support
-bumper
-fenders
-hood
-headlights
seeing as how i was going in to sand\repaint it with my dad (he's head painter\bodyman at a collision center) in the next few weekends, and i already had front end damage, the body parts have long been purchased and waiting to go on.
thankfully, the frame damage is not TOO bad, and it fixable
the items in bold are all i need to worry about for now, but i probably need a new hood latch\cable too... i'm sad about the radiator... i had a nice all metal Performance Radiator one.
i need a core support, but i don't really know how one would go about getting it out of a junkyard car, it being welded in and all...
anybody have one lying around?
