You sure you just broke your front end? Pretty sure you lost it. lol

You can get it back by asking that girl out though.

and rockauto may throw up a sale, like they do sometimes, and then your rebuild cost would be even less :)
 
Re: What'd Hippo Break Now...? Oh His Entire Front End!


There are lots of smashed and out of shape parts behind the obvious damage. Unless you or a close friend/relative owns a body shop or has some serious skillz this car is not worth fixing. I've gotten 700 and 800 bucks for the last two cars I've junked. I'd write it off as a learning experience, junk it and start over. Or buy another GP and keep it as a donor car.
 


Re: What'd Hippo Break Now...? Oh His Entire Front End!


Ok thanks for that. I will look into it. I'm gonna need new fog light housings, so good upgrade time (recommendations? i like the blueish tinted ones what are they?), and I also need a washer fluid container thing and probably a motor for that, depending on where it is located.

Also would a different hood be cool? idk...

The guy said like the bumper reinforcement was slightly damaged? whats that or what do i need to do?


THANKS
 
Re: What'd Hippo Break Now...? Oh His Entire Front End!

The bumper reinforcement is probably bent I could see that in the pic, you might be able to fic it with a slide hammer or a come along hooked up to something very sturdy like a thick tree. If you wanted to upgrade to a different hood now would be the perfect time to do it but that would increase your costs a lot.
 
Re: What'd Hippo Break Now...? Oh His Entire Front End!

You can see that? Only bent metal i could see was the headlight mount thing. Let me know.

Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

did you clear the leaves off the streets? get ready for the snow!



joking aside, glad you got it fixed. still gotta sell it?
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

I sure hope you didn't jump right into that. $71 for an aftermarket bumper, that's warped. I got a GM factory replacement bumper new and ready for paint for $34 bucks, so I still have my arrowhead and no warping.
