    Accident Pics...Cheapest Solution?

    [IMG][/IMG]

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Last night i kinda lost control of the car doin about 80 on a unexpected curve....the car went into an oncoming car while spining 180degs. Need to fix it up....but got no liability coverage, everythings from my pocket. Whats the best way to do this. Im thinkin keep the bumper just screw sum bolts in it, and replace the fender (any links or where i could get one cheap)?...and bang out the back trunk area(what do i need for that)? The doors im gonna keep the way they are....this is temporary and hopefully i can get another car soon. What should I do. Oh yea..gotta replace the side mirror too.

    You can find the fender at a junk yard, they always have white 4th gens around somewhere.. if you can't find them I am sure someone from here can sell you some.

    The rear dent, I don't even know what to tell you if you don't know anything about body work. You won't be able to get it perfect if you don't have much body work skills, but you can bang it out until it's as straight as you can get it.. but thats probably the best you your self can do.

    You'll need a new corner light and headlight bracket, and a few people are selling OEM headlights on here or some projecors or JDM's..

    Good luck bro.

        the cheapest solution would be to do nothing, lol.

        if the car is indeed temporary, and you're going to get another car soon, what do you plan on doing with this car? the answer i anticipate from you is "sell it." i
        f indeed you plan to sell it soon, you're in no way going to get a reasonable amount out of the car in it's current condition. since you're not a body work specialist, you really can't guarantee the work (not that work needs to be guaranteed on a person to person sale of an automobile, as there's a little thing known as "caveat emptor" - "buyer beware"). the best thing to do.

        in my opinion, if you plan on selling the car shortly, the best bet would be to find the cheapest estimate in your area.

        i think you should only do the body work yourself if you plan on keeping the car for quite a while. you may not care how the car looks, but other people will and going the cheap route will significantly affect the amount of money you'll be able to get.


        absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

          True.....The thing is that i am not sure of when ill get another car.....As far as the $ amount for selling the car I know Ive prolly get if im lucky 1grand. But for the time being so it dosent look so bad i might just get a new fender and bang out the back. So it dosent look TOO bad. Cause my next car depends on when my pops gets it..hehe....
