front end/wreck question, update?

[dmw319]

i got in a front end wreck, and totalled my car for those of you that dont know. the body shops ive talked to said i would need an entire front clip. however, that runs about 2,200! :( So my question is.. if they bend the frame back.. what other parts would i need to buy without buying the whole frame??

for example.. i know i need a radiator and radiator support, hood, 2 fenders and front bumper. headlight brackets, what else?

here is pics from my wreck: www.dmwacoustics.com/misc/wreck

I don't know who's head whacked the windshield, but I hope that they're okay!
Isn't your Insurance going to cover the damage? If the frame was bent, I'd probably look for another Donor-Body.

air bag does that. . . thats why low mph colisions suxks, costs $$$ to fix stuff when air bag deploys. Happened to my bro's 94 camaro, at first i though his friend hit his head on the glass, but he was the only 1 in the car at the time. Someone pulled out in front of him.

have you tried e-mailing the fbody junkyard places like www.tacreationsusa.com or ebay?

[dmw319]

ebay yea. but ist all aftermarket parts.. not the whole front end.
