Not only that, but with the amount of damage you have, you're better off buying the entire front of the car in one piece(more or less)

A friend of mine had a fender bender in a Daihatsu, that barely bent the hood, one front fender, grill, etc.

Parts were 42K alone.

It won't happen.

We won't even get into the cost of transport, which I'm guessing you'll need since you're getting around on a moto. (hmm, maybe a photo op here!)

Best of luck, my friend. Don't shoot the messenger!

No biggie and thanks. we already called around thanks to the feed back from this thread [very helpful] I'm in the ball park for 15,000, but since this will be a long process do to no money, I'm going to replace the fans, rad support, lamps for a total of about 5,000. the rest of the car will get the rubber mallet treatment until i can get the other parts one by one, than if money allows perhaps 6 months later, try and get the car painted or at least blend it in with the rest of the car. I'm starting the tear down tomorrow being Sunday, than it's hammer time.
