    accident...

    this guy in a chevy van was turning on to the street i'm driving on without seeing me... he turned when i was about 5ft away from him... i was going 25mph... i tried to stop but the street was wet... so i was sliding like bitch... then slammed into the corner of his rear bumper... he actually admitted it was his mistake... how much do you guys think the repairs would cost... and how long...

    well, this is something insurance should take care of...did you think to exchange insurance info with him?

    it's not all that easy to tell by the pics. there could be EXTENSIVE damage to the unibody with all that happened...and there's a good chance it's totalled. get an estimate with the insurance company and see what THEY say.

    looks like it good be an easy fix from the pix, but there could be a lot more than the eye can see as fenix was sayin. same thing happened to my 93 except my girlfriend was driving. it only took me 150 bucks and a few hours to get mine going again. replaced the passenger fender, headlight, grill, hood, corner light, and i still need to get a bumper mines cracked but only costs 30 bucks. all new parts from certifit

    bro, it can be fixed, trust me, but then again, as others advised, check with your insurance... there are worse accidents than that, i'm sure you could get it back on the road again... hope you didn't get hurt...

    I had an accident in my rolla exactly like that back in August. Had to replace everything you mentioned, plus the radiator and radiator support. I went to a cheap bodyshop and got the car back on the road for about $1000, plus a full repaint and color change for $600. Some bodyshops quoted me as much as $2800 though.

    Granted, the place I took it to could have done a better job, as they didn't replace the radiator support, but instead just straightened it out a little.

    All in all the car could have been totaled, depending on what bodyshop I took it to, so I would suggest shopping around. You get what you pay for, but sometimes that's all you can afford. :)

    i was hoping to do a front end conversion as well i want my car to look like an 02 corolla...coz basically, all the parts that are messed up, are the parts i need for a conversion... vamp has a diy for that so its possible right? well, i'll talk to the body shop and see if they would do it... i'll see how much the insurance company would give me... i'm really leaning on doing a conversion...
