1990 Honda Accord Wreck..need a little help
OK well Today my girlfriend wrecked her 1990 Honda Accord LX...I dont have any pictures yet but hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction until I get pictures..I just wanted to know what kinda things im gonna need to plan to replace...She rear-ended a car due to effin rain..the only body work it needs is a new hood its bent completely back...bumper is fine and fenders are fine...I know it needs new headlights and corners...the radiator is bent back pretty far so I know it'll need a new radiator and probably radiator fans..and the mounts for the radiator...also the beam that goes across the front of the car under the hood where the headlights bolt onto right in front of the radiator..its bent quite a bit...other than that I dont see much wrong..any ideas..maybe a new front motor mount...I know its hard to tell with no pictures but ill have some tomorrow...also..it wont start at all lights wont come on or anything..and shes said her doors wont lock for some reason?...I was thinking the battery cables may have gotten messed up or something but even if that were true the car should still lock?..maybe a burnt fuse?..she said it ran after she wrecked but she turned it off cuz it was making a bad noise and now it wont turn over or anything..no lights or anything
any help at all is appreciated! thanks everyone..Ill have pictures tomorrow around 4 or so

Post 'em up and it should be easier to tell. Battery could be dead, or the wiring messed up as you said, that would explain no start now and doors not locking. The best way to tell what needs to be replaced before you get all gung-ho buying parts is to just tear into it, I'd take apart the front clip if you're going to have to replace the front support anyways. Then you can evaluate the radiator and fans, etc. If the radiator just broke off one of the mounting legs you can probably work with that without having to replace it. Sheesh, women drivers

lol..yea shes not the best driver but i guess sometimes you cant do anything about it when its raining...anyways well I checked it out today...no pics yet sorry..but it was just the main power fuse..replaced it..everything runs just like it did before..all it needs is a new hood, new headlights, new radiator and supports, the beam that goes across above the headlights, new grille, and thats about it...im sure the A/C components are effin screwed but im not really worried about that right now..I think shes just gonna get a new car anyways but thanks for the help
