well if you need a new rad and you want to keep it OEM style, I would go with performance radiator, they are all over the country and they have great products!

If she is at fault, just take it to a reputable shop and let them do it - unless you are looking to pocket some cash

No rad damage drove it 15 miles after accident drove straight an no leaks or fuilds.
Ya would like a little pocket cash to get this swapp going.lol. na just tryin to get it going again miss it.
I was told that the incraunce would prolly call it totaled and give me cash and i either can buy it back or jus keep all the cash. but its bluebooked at 1700 but i payed 2400 for it.
Just hate to loose money on it that why i am trying to fix it with lowest cost as possible.

something like that happened to my cousin car and it cost about $800 from the shop and that's not including paint, just new fenders and bumper.

I would have them fix the damage done to the support/frame/etc. As far as providing you qith parts you can get those online or at your local junkyard.

just junkyard it...if stuffs not lining up you could use a slide hammer to do some "straighting" but its not exactly a gentle precision tool...
