Well I sure did it this time... Spun it hard into the guard rail after hitting ice on a left hand sweeper.
I've made the decision to fix it if it can be done properly.
For those who are knowledgeable with bodywork, I'm wondering what you think of my situation. At the very least I know I'm going to need the fender, hood, nose panel, headlights, grills, and some plastic in the engine bay. The bumper is a toss up, it's pretty beat cosmetically but structurally it seems OK. The radiator probably needs to be replaced, but I couldn't get the hood open so I don't know. The suspension looks alright too - I don't think it took the brunt of the hit, because of the way the guard rail is designed and with the car being lowered it seems as though the car hit on the same plane as the headlights. The frame rail looks entirely straight and the bumper support wasn't compressed. What worries me is if the strut tower is bent, and it looked like it was.
Is there any hope? I got this car 4 years ago when I was 16, and I would hate to have to get rid of it.
