Sorry to hear about Hans

I am going through a similar experience with similar damage. My son hit a jeep about a month ago and my first reaction was to tow it to the junkyard. These cars are great but because of their low market value and the cost to fix them they are very easy to "total". In my case the cost to repair would have been around 6 grand but I have some bodywork skills and estimated that i could do it for around 2.
I started a thread called "bringing it back from the dead" to detail my progress in getting the car back on the road.
My work progress stopped a few weeks ago for summer vacation etc., but now I am now back at it again. I'll revive the thread if I can figure out how to attach the pictures to my posts. How do you do that!
You need a new hood, grill, condenser, radiator, oil cooler and all 3 front radiator supports and your toal costs should be similar to mine if you decide to fix it yourself.
