First Accident

[ajhockey3]

Had my first little car accident, No one was hurt except the car, Hit a curb while trying to turn around, Cracked the radiator and the radiator support is bent out of shape, where the radiator support bolts in is bent, I have hammered it back out the best I can and am drilling new holes, we will see how it goes.

Hard way to learn how to do bodywork, AJ. Glad to hear you're okay.

You can likely get a new pre-painted bumper cover off of eBay cheaper than the cost of repairing yours. That's what I have on my PT. The quality can be very good from the right seller.

Here's the one I got several years ago:

less the 48 hours after impact shes back together. Wasn't too expensive to fix, the radiator was $60 and the scrapyard left the condenser and rad fan on with it so I have extra parts now so thats nice. The rad support was $20 and I got the grill for free.

Yes, it doesn't look that bad.

If you are VERY careful, you can take a heat gun with a block of wood and straighten out the dents and curves in your bumper cover. You just have to be really careful not to burn the paint.
