Think this can be fixed fairly cheaply?

not at all. the parts will kill you because it looks like you gotta replace EVERYTHING in the front, and you definately got some serious welding ahead of you, it wont be cheap and it will take alotta time. and all the brakets for everything are busted to sh**, even if you get all the parts you wont be able to get a perfect fit and it wont look even. and WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?!?

its my girlfriend's dad's car and she was driving and her dad was riding with her, and some old lady in a grand mar-crap pulled out in front of her and hit her head on. the only reason i think it may be salvagable is because the only damage i found so far was all in the center.i'm also getting this to either part out, or fix. Their getting it back from insurance and giving it to me so, yah.

well if your willing i say attempt it, but before anything check for frame damage and replace anything that is twisted, we worked on a sentra here that had a damaged front end and it was a pita because half the ish was twisted and nothing would fit right.

yah, i'm gonna take everything off of it first and inspect it before i buy any parts, and even then i'm gonna fit some sort of radiator to it and try and get it to start before i ever buy any parts. if i can't get it to start, i'm not even gonna waste my time with it.

When you take the front end apart and inspect it, let us know what you find. It looks like it will buff out.
