car accident pics...help meeee :(

[xxdjstriderxx]

well i finally go the chance to borrow a friends digital camera to take some pics of my f**ked up car, so heres some pics just for s**ts and giggles...

im going to take it back to a repair shop to get the rack and pinion replaced (ball joint popped out), as well as the tie rod

as for the body work, i dont know what the hell im gonna do...my resonator is crushed like a soda can but theres no frame damage...under the hood there is slight bending of the "shell" and radiator support. i already bought a new front end (fenders, bumper, flop lights, and hood) but im obviously not going to be able to slap em on until everything is straight. im thinking the most cost effective place would be to take it to earl scheib or some other affordable 1 day paint and body crap...im not really in any hurry to get it out, but do you think they will be able to repair the collision damage? (it DOES say "collision repair" on the website)

anyone have any suggestions on what i should do or where i should go? im a starving college student with a part time job so i dont have much cash...i can probably get some help from family but i most likely wont be able to get more than $700 or $800 for body repair after paying for the damage to my suspension..thanks for any help guys

p.s. im in torrance, so any places near the south bay area would be great..

Thank god for Canadian Insurance. I'd look into a Silvia conversion if you fancy that. I've seen them go for 950. or something pretty low like that. Otherwise you can always buy some aftermarket peices. The headlight motor peices are pretty pricey, and the hood doesn't look bad but those are a ***** to work on. You certainly have it cut out for you.

I got my frame repaired in the bay area for 300 and they did a good job... i had similar body damage but the frame damage was less obvious.
