Help got in accident!
Well.. Basically roads were wet and I took a corner too hot... And hit a pole. Actually not as much damage as I thought, but I'm not covered for a collision like this, and I've put a lot time and money into this car so I don't want to part it out or sell it to a junkyard or anything. In in high school, so I'm in a super tight budget but I want to do some of the work my self to save money. [ATTACH=full]26932[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]26933[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]26934[/ATTACH]
These are the best pics I have at the moment I'll try and get better ones tomorrow. I drove home from where I crashed (only a minute drive on a back road) and the alighment seems real bad and the steering wheels super shaky, an alighment after everything is fixed should fix this, right?
It looks like what I'll need is the radiator support, ac condenser , bumper reinforcement bar, and bumper. Doesn't look like anything else is damaged to me but what do i know. I'll need a shop to weld the rad support on, but everything else I should be able to do myself
What do you guys think? Does anything else look damaged? How much do you think I should expect to pay overall if I'm doing most of the work myself except the welding?

Re: Help got in accident!
you have to fix your images. none of them are showing up. There's a good chance of frame damage too, especially if you managed to mangle the entire front end.

Buy a new raditor support and take it to the shop. If you cut and old one off a car, they will charge you for drilling out the welds of both supports rather than your current support.
Few years ago in CA a shop charged me $350-$400 or around there.
Included a new support, drilling the old one out re welding new one and priming the welds.
Dont not forget you will pay for the front to be color mathced.
Most likely an alignment will not fix your problem, surwly you bent something, control arm, tie rods etc.
The only work you will really be doing is replcaing parts which is easy especially with so many diy online. Best way to figure a price out is go to shops and ask around.
