Hey, guys, I've got a question to ask. My family is all about Ford trucks. I own an explorer, one sister owns a '99 Ranger, and my other sister owns an '02 Explorer Sport. Gorgeous truck, but it sat for a while in the Southern heat, and some of the plastic and rubber pieces began to crack from the age+heat. Anyways, back on topic. She recently had a (relatively) minor collision, and her passenger side front end is pretty messed up. The bumper only hangs on one side, the hood is scrap, the fender may as well just find a new home in the recycling center, and there's not much of a headlight left to speak of. However, everything else about the truck is sound. the engine is 100% and nothing in the bay appears to be damaged (thank God). That combined with the extremely low mileage (<50k) makes me think it's worth saving.
Here's a picture of the damage: http://i.imgur.com/pHF1bWE.jpg
Here are my questions:
1) Is this damage worth fixing on this truck, or would it be better to just part it out and sell the rest for scrap?
2) Do we need to be worried about the airbags going off, even after we replace the bumper?
Apologies if this is the wrong forum; I just thought for body work, y'all would have the best experience.
