Default New Problem..

Well. I was lookin at my mess in the garage (My Neon..) and lookin closer at the impact site.. I will have to get some pics of this sometime.. But I Think I really messed the car up more than I thought... On the right hand side, where the battery tray connects to the side of the car.. Its sort of caved in.. I dont know if I can get it pulled out or not and be OK.. I will have to get you guys pics so you can see... Anyone have suggestions on what to do?

you might have to take it to a shop so they can put it on the frame machine and bend it back.....
your fenders and hood might not line up either.....and it might throw your allignment off

Well, hopefully it wont cost too much.. I'll have to get an estimate from a shop... Startin' to think it would be cheaper to scrap this R/T and go buy another... But I love my R/T

I seen the pics from your accident yet, depending on where you go and who you know you can get a good deal on bending it out! I had afront end collision in July and the Dealership qouted me $2200 w/o bending it out. Yet, I know some people and $1200 pulled out, parts,paint and laborthats all I payed. So, don't give up Hope!

Well considering I have the whole car torn down already.. I would think it would be less than that.. I just need to have the frame checked.. that one side fixed or pulled or whatever.. and a new radiator support welded in.. I need money >.< Haha
