Hello Honda-tech!

I recently purchased this accord in the hopes of saving some money on a new car. What Im curious about is how much(in your opinions) you think it would cost to get the chassis back within spec. Thanks for your input in advance!



Of course in these first 2 pics you see the cosmetic damage. Suprisingly the hood seems ok!


This was taken after I stripped everything down from the front end.


Angled as if you were looking at the corner lamp



this is head on

 

wow have you try taking it to a body shop? get an estimation. i would say maybe 500+.

 

Based on a similar accident I had on my first car, I'm gonna say between $1800 and $2400, if you want the car to look like it's never been in an accident.

Fender, inner fender, fender bracket, core support, headlight, paint fender core support, and inner fender, blend hood and door, plus R&I for all the trim and misc parts. It gets expensive...

 

you can fix that yourself pretty cheap. Replace the radiator support and pull and pound all the metal around it back in place till it lines up

 

That actually isn't that bad. You could MAYBE pull it and be good instead of paying for it all. Since your going to be getting new parts you might as well get some OEM headlights or depo's since the one's you have already have horrible light output.

P.S.-If your looking for an Accord specific forum, hit up Hondasociety

 

ive got damage on my inner fender too.. how would you suggest "pulling" that..

 

Thanks for the input.

Since posting I've done alot as far as parts are concerned. I've already removed the body kit which I traded for some of the OEM stuff. I do agree the headlamps that were in there werent that good. I found some OEM ones that I'm going to try to clean up to fit back in there. The car goes up on the frame machine tomorrow.....

 

keep us posted on how much it costs.
