i need advice how much do you think it would be to fix this

do you have any other angles of the damage mainly the area down at the bottom of the qp. also are you going to attempt to do the labor your self or take it to a shop

but off bat i would est. around 500-700

[aznflip24]

i have no body experience actually so most likely a shop

also ill have more pictures tommorrow

[aznflip24]

alright i have more pictures anyways im willing to do the easier stuff like removin front bumper and so on and rear bumper and put new ones on but still how much would it cost to fix all of it the front bumper is also a big worry and you'll see why a noBODY experienced guy like me would be worried

[Hoffman5982]

i wouldnt file it on insurance.doesnt look like much but i bet its enough to be considered totalled

[LeroyBrown]

That sucks...

[sebazztard]

[jr_ss]

Totalled.... Sorry dude, insurance will total it if you claim it...

[EnjoiNismo]

ive done some front end work on my 240 and all i can think of is taking the bumper and fender off and popping the dent out best you can and the bumper should bend back to place! but before you put it back on take the other stuff off and see what you can do yourself.

but as the rear i dont know.

[aznflip24]

im takein the bumpin support off today and then hammering what bent straight again so im not too worried lol but still that rear QP is just just i dont know what to do with it lol

[silpena]

for the qp remove all of the interior and excessories. Get a simple hammer and dolly that shapes the countours od the qp. Bump it out the best u can. After some body filler and a skim coat of glaze and your done.

id be more worried about the front end. Hammer and forcing the bumper support aint the best idea. Look around the spot welds and radiator support in like 6-1yr. I belt they well pop off or start to crack due to the stress and weaking of the metal, but if u dont care then i dont care lol.

God, i wish more ppl lived closer to me so i could fix their body damage for cheap...

[aznflip24]

silpena i wish you lived closer so it could get fixed for cheap also lol

but i was gonna get a brand new bumper support and bend, what i cant take off back, and most likely get them welded so it holds up, does that sound good or should i just bend it back and leave it

[silpena]

if u get a new support i would not bend it since once u hit or bend the metal you'll ruin the support. They are made to be hit once and never fixed. they are made of uhss (ultra. high.strength. steel). So if it wont fit ur gonna have to either a. Pull the frame out if its out of spec or knock the mount around till it fits but i garrentee u it will put stress on the front frame rails and radiator support. Itll crack where the front lower rail and radiator support meet and spot welds will seperate.

Take everything off and take pics and i can help more on how to pull the frame back a little better and relieve the stress on the metal.

p.s. Do not put any heat on the bumper support. It will weakend the metal so it wont protect you in a collision next time like it was designed too. PPl who cut and weld on them should stop doing this..... also making a bracking or ur own bumper support can be bad too. It wont asborb impact too well(not mashing like it should).

[silpena]

also as long as the front lower rail and high rail are not damage then your ok. f*** the radiaor support. they are replaceable.

[aznflip24]

alright thats the picture i got and lol sorry its tilted i dont have time to fix it right now i have to go to bed to go to class tommorrow lol but are there any pictures in particular you need or want any close ups
