Update: my buddy that owns the auto body shop just stopped by to look at it. its a little worse than we though, the left hand side A-arm is bent also, so is the tie rod along with the k-member. ****. gonna have to replace all that stuff, radiator bracket is smashed, so thats gonna have to be cut out, and a new one welded in. front bumper is gonna have to be bent back, and other **** needs to be replaced too.. i dont even wanna think about it right now. its gonna cost a fortune

damn dude...that sucks. i feel your pain.

it might just be a better idea to total it in the long run. sounds like you are running quite a serious laundry list of parts.

i didn't have full coverage on my 94 either. it sucks.

i put it up in a salvage auction and was able to get 1700 out of it. nothing near what i put into it, but its better than nothing.

the cost of all those parts you need will be close to the cost of an entire car...
