Judging from the carnage, what all do you guys think I need to replace? I am getting ready to order some parts for it, and so far I am getting a Hood, Fender, Taillight, Grill.

I havent been able to get my hood open yet, so I am not sure of the internal damage, I did notice that there was coolant all over my bumper and where my headlight was, so I assume I either busted the radiator or just the resivior.. i plan on doing a more through inspection when this storm passes in the morning.

What parts am I missing if any? I think I got anything, but I figured I should ask you guys before ordering,

I found a site that has the hood, fender, headlight, and grill for under $350 shipped, if I add a radiator and radiator support, and after the bulk discount, its only $450, do you think I need a new support or just a radiator?!

Thanks!

I guess the IMG tags don't work on this forum. I just put the direct link instead, hope that helps!

 

I'm not sure what you can do to fix it because i have no prior experience in this. But my brother had the exact same accident. Same spot, same everything. His batter popped upwards towards the hood, and his radiotor bent backwards. The insurance just diagnosed his car TOTALEd.

 

ok based on just looking as the outside heres it goes(if i miss anything feel free to chime in)

hood
headlights
bumper lid
radiator(possibility)
rad support assembly(depending on how low the damage is on the inside)
bumper support assembly
pass. side fender
grille
possibly some frame straightening
and i would recommend a full alignment and just check the areas around the wheels(axles,joints,tie rods,etc) checked

looks like you got lucky that the damage wasn't down further

 

How much do you guys think I could get for it?

possibly steering arm and aseebly too. my buddy did something similar last month and had to replace his rods and axles.


you wouldnt get alot for it since alot of time needs to be put into it. well whatever you decide to do goodluck

 

You only need like $500 in parts, so I am going to ask 1800obo for it on craigslist.

 

don't give up on the car, it sounds like you can get the parts cheap enough. If you don't know how to weld, then just find somebody to but the new radiator support in for you, or find a friend who knows how to do it and have him show you and buy him pizza and beer or something for his troubles. After that it should be pretty straight forward putting it together yourself, and it will be much cheaper than buying a new car.

 

Isnt the radiator support just bolted in? I can weld, that is not the problem, I just want a better car, I am considering a newer civic or accord.

 

no, its welded in, and its a lot bigger than you may be thinking, it spands across the entire front end of the car, not just the top from fender to fender. If you are stuck on selling it, i think 1800 is a bit high considering the condition its in and the fact that it is a 13 year old car.

 

The only damage to the rad support is where it got hit, no lower, can I just cut it off or bend it back? It is in my battery, so I cant get the old one out to put a new one, I really don't want to have to repalce the rad support if I dont have too!

I am just going to throw a hood on, a new fender, a headlight, and put a new battery, and just leave it, I dont care how ghetto it looks as long as it runs.

 

Since you are not taking any of the advice I am gonna go ahead and lock this.
