Default Front end over Curb...

Well long story short, got my car back, it was for sale, new stuff added, spent over $450 to get tags, windshield, repairs and 2 days later I avoid accident Guy runs I hit the curb, I have liability, car gets towed, oil pan destroyed, header smushed and teared open on corners, radiator support smashed on botton and bumped the top some how and bumper in 2 pieces.
Paid another 360 for towing and release and towing to my house. Thinking of repairs. $60 used but mint oil pan P72. $75 Remanufactured OEM Radiator Support, $29 Remanufactered Front Bumper. Shop prices are awesome! Never done bodywork in my life other than bolt on hoods and fenders and bumpers. Chance of not bieng able to align everything properly can go 50/50 or take it to a body shop and have them bang it out?

I've changed radiator supports on cars that has more damage then your car and everything still lines up perfect. Thats with the frame rails untouched...Yours just looks like the middle of the radiator support took the most damage. If the frame rails are still nice and straight just slap a radiator support on and get new body parts for replacement and your set.

Not necessarily, I would give it a shot myself and if it doesn't work out, you can take it to a shop and let them handle it.
