RE: Bad News :-(
so...I have been so broke with all my bills and everything that I still have not been able to repair this cowl...however! I have been replacing small things...such as the map light and fixing up the windows...which doesn't cost much...and now I am going to finally go into the cowl for next repair
my question is....what should I do??
should I replace this cowl....(what would be involved?) or should I just bring it to a body shop...pay them some money and have them play with it to straighten it out??

or are you saying that I should try my luck with a shop?

try the shop. that panel is welded on, and unless your very skilled at drilling out the spot welds/not distorting one off a junker, a shop would be your best bet. that panel isnt made anymore (the plastic vent cover is) but the steel isnt produced anymore. a good shop should beable to have her good as new
plus, I think the windsheild has to come out to get it out/installed properly, but dont hold me too it.

RE: Bad News :-(
that is a hard fix , mine just had a small bend where the hood flew back , it took a couple of trys to get it out and my dad and i have been doing body work like all our live's . if you take it to a shop expect at least your 600 if not a little more . depends on the shop and how close to perfect you want it .
