check out this pic. tryin to find out whether it would be cheaper to fix or if i should just part out and get another one. radiator and all mounting hardware is damaged, maybe a tweeked frame, mechanical fan prolly busted maybe waterpump shaft to fan, the majority appears to be cosmetic. im gonna do most of the work myself

We cant tell whats wrong with a picture. What did you hit and how fast were you going?

The front cross member is probably prety messed up. The thing that you should be worried about is the frame, Can you still drive it? You should be able to tell if the frame is bent by driving it, or jack it up and look for bends in the frame, did any body panels crinkle? Thats a sign.

Take it to a body shop and get a quote, its free.. They will give you a list of parts needed. Its gona be like 2,000 prob..

the only panel i see bad really is the passenger quarter panel. it got pushed back over the a pillar. it seemed normal as i was rolling to the side of the freeway. but who knows my judgement was a little off as i was pretty pissed
