crashed my fd
Hey I know their are to many of these threads already but I was coming around a corner last night and a deer jumped out at me and I panicked and hit the brakes sending me into a unrecoverable spin
(for me Atleast) and my car is I'm a ditch. I had to go to work so I couldn't really check it out or take pics, but the front bumper is pretty bad and the right headlight is ruined. I was just wondering how much it would be to fix. Any close estimate would be good. I hope it isn't a rightoff.

With that said, I don't think it would be easy to answer your question like the previous responder said without more information, and the pictures would be helpful. Are you planning to do the work yourself or are you going to have a professional do it? If you look on the classified section you might get an idea of what some replacement parts would cost used, or go to one of the many referenced websites for replacement parts.
Second, this section of the forum gets little traffic. You may find you get more visibility in the appropriate generation forum (1st gen, 2nd gen, or 3rd gen). The more info you give the easier it may be for ppl to respond with useful answers.
Third, try searching the build threads to see if anyone has had any similar work done or going on. Maybe you can glean some useful information, tips, tricks, websites, etc. that may help you make a decision about how to go about repairs.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

Yeah, it's tough to get an answer to questions, which is frustrating especially when you're just learning and just starting out. I've found it difficult to get answers. Seems like if they think you should know it then you should know it and you'll only hear the chirps of crickets.

If you're really looking for help on this you're better off asking in a regional forum and seeing if somebody will come out to look at it before you pay a shop too.

It's not that people think you should know the answer, it's that nobody can tell you the answer without looking at the car and since you are the one that owns it...

The thread lacked information.
My reply was supposed to be a bit humorous but informative.So if you took it the wrong way,so sorry..
It would be better to post in 3rd gen Specific as Guys there would know more,IF the Info was provided..and the PIC worked.
Now,that is good info,.No bull.
Good luck.

FIXED!..(now that is a bit funny..isn't it?)
Sorry Steve to hear that your frame is bent.
My FC tapped something on the driver's corner.I bought it like that.
My Buddy at the Collision shop was able to straighten it.Any capable shop should be able to do the job for you.
..keep away from Jagger..he's "trouble"..lol!
