Hey guys,
Today I took my 'ploder out with my buddy and his Wrangler. The mud we were in was peanut buttery. Long story short, my car slide into a wooden pole, and destroyed my (all driver side parts) headlight, front fender, slightly bent the outside of my bumper bracket from frame(the outside lip), chrome around grille seemed to split at the break it has, dented the corner of my hood, and my front side of my door is pinched in a bit.
Not sure how exactly I am going to fix it, but I do believe I am going to fix it and probably save up for a new car. I was looking at parts on rockauto, and it looks like I will be spending around $600 in parts alone.
Anyone have advice on how I should have this fixed properly? I can install all parts myself (I have faith in my ability) or any general advise on the procedure or even a funny comment (I could use a good laugh about now)
Time to get a REAL job that can actually support my needs/wants in life. My Explorer (and any car I ever own) is and will always be one of them.
Luckily, the car still runs as good as it did before the mishap.
PICS!!!!
Right after it happened.
