so i let my girlfriend take my convertable to work and she ended up locking up her brakes at 70 mph and smashed into the back of a van.

i took off the fenders and everything past the camber plates are shifted about 10 inches to the left. and the radiator is smashed up to the pulleys., is she totaled?

how much would it cost to have someone replace the entire front end/engine bay? or is it even worth it?

the tire look straight its just the front on the engine bay is tweaked

your gonna need a doner car first, then plan on around $2k to swap the whole front end out.

whether or not its structurally stable and driveable afterwards, is all up to the person that does the work.
if you go this route, do your homework.

Man that sucks, that is my worst nightmare... Is your girl o.k. at least, you can always replace the car, but you can not replace the person in the accident.
