I crashed My FC tonight

I was going around a corner tonight on a hill very rainy and slippery.

The Car was going right wheel first into the curb.. I'm not sure how the wheel hit the curb wheather it was Straight on or parrallel hit.

But here are some damage shots. This is what i thinks wrong. Please advise me what i should replace while doin this.. What do you think would be a good upgrade. etc. etc.

Ive pulled just about everything there is to pull off an FC except the hatch and any glass, front end stuff is pretty easy

its pretty stright forward, go buy the cheap *** haynes manual unless you already got the FSM dl'd and get going

Just find someone with a partscar and have them pull the whole lower control arm, spindle, etc. and get it all t once. Bolt it back on. Shouldnt take more than an hour or 2. You may be very slightly out of alignment at that time, but nothing big or to worry about seeing as these are hellraising cars anyway and they wear tires funny even when in alignment.

Just note that the LCA needs to be from the same series car as yours...86-88 or 89-91. There is no difference in turbo or nonturbo LCA's.

****, if you need an LCA, I have a couple if Im not mistaken.
