well to start things off back about a month ago i got involved in an accident causing my car to be really busted up. My question is how do i go about repairing the damage?Tonight i just got some headlights in that i ordered from a local forum member (got the jdm zenki housings instead of the usdm ones i dont think he knew what they were im happy ) i know i need a new fender because the bracket coming off the fender is bent to ****.

Anyway my question for you is how do i fix this problem.the front bumper seems to be about an inch lower then it should be . when i wrecked the van rode up my bumper. could it have bent the bumper support down? can i possibly bend it back and how? or do i need a new one?

morning of accident

morning after accident

and tonight about a month after with new lights installed. its hard to tell with crappy phone pics but the front bumper sits about an inch too low and the light now points down and out on the passenger side WTF

Bumper supports shouldn't be too hard to find out of a junk yard if you need new ones. If those are bent, looks like that's all that needs to be replaced aside from the hood and fender.

Take bumper, Hood, Fender, Brackets off and start from the inside out.. Determine what bent, replace it.. And youll see how fast it gets fixed, instead of replacing random parts at a time.

a new fender and hood are coming asap. if i can find a oem white fender and hood. if not its carbon fiber hood time

and i cant seem to find an s14 anywhere near me and im on a red license so i cant drive very far so i may get a new one?

does anyone know the difference between the jdm zenki lights and the usdm ones other then the dual housings in the jdm ones. the light output is much different and also the little cut off piece inside the light is differemnt

check and see if the radiator support is broke on the welds because my 240sx was wrecked when i first got it and we welded it back and now ever thing lines up..
