The website was really good but the bumper didnt pop up and i have a concern my front end shifted a lil towards the left because of my right side being pushed in do you guys think that if i take a pully and hook it on and start pulling would help solve that problem because a body shop would most likely over price me for the fact thats my front end has any one ever done that or paid a body shop how much was it if you did ?

i just posted under your other topic :P but after reading that last message, it sounds like you bent your frame??? if so... your screwed man, dont waste your time on it seriously, part out the engine and transmission, you will prolly get alot more than you payed for the car if you do that actually, look up used engines and transmissions for that car to see wat they are going for, most likely you will make more than 800.

if its not the frame then idk wat you would do really im not a body guy, but either way give the parting it out idea some serious thought. besides, if you part it out and make some money off it you can pay those tickets you got and go buy a gst/x !!!

how did a bumper not pop up. That bumper is probably the easiest thing to find.
