There’s a leak coming from the overflow bottle on the fan, I’m planning on going to the junk yard for the fenders, hood, bumpers, etc and buying a new radiator and maybe condenser?
You don't need to any flushing got flushed at the hit ? Put a cable around that blue side core support tie cable around tree car in neutral now push car away from tree . You push n rock n bounce cable against that blus support until it looks like other side . Ben here done this twice here have 09 ya cannot tell it's been done cept by seeing the blk from sheet metal take off on gold car . Couple hours the whole front back together
An insurance company would total that; but if you've got the know-how and time to fix it. Go for it. The energy absorbent crumple zone in that corner has probably been compressed. Hopefully the alignment hasn't been tweaked. Good Luck......
Radiator support (the one across the top) is bent at the top. The OP may want to pay a body shop to examine it and see how bent up the "frame" is. Not a lot of point in fixing the body work if the car won't ever drive straight again.
I've seen a few cars waddling around in the LA freeway system. About a year ago; I had to do a double take. The car's front axle was clearly offset least six inches to the left of the rear axle. I couldn't get around that guy fast enough.........
You'd be shocked you can probably take that car right over to your alignment place right now and wen they tack. It nada or light adjustment . Doesn't look enuff for control arm issues my 09 hit way worse . Alignment spot on no tyre wear
that body damage is really nothing, I've fixed some with basic tools worst looking than that. Get yourself a porta-power (hydraulic) from harbor freight to align the bent metal. The front metal are very soft that you can even use a winch (hard work) to pull it. A matching fender, hood and bumper will make it back to original again.. I don't think any alignment is affected by that damage..
thanks, is the 4 ton good enough? About the alignment, I briefly drove the car after the accident and it felt fine, maybe slightly worse than before though my hood flew up and smashed the windshield doing about 60mph… yeah I’m an idiot lol
Dang.. that looks like the 10 fwy heading into West L.A Anywho, depending on the life of the engine and battery it all depends on you. If it was a low mileage Gen2 id def fix it, if its in the 250k+ range along with its depleted looks, i’d part it out or sell as parts car. You wpuld be surprised what you can get for parts off these nowadays here in SoCal. An insurance company would def total it out and price it around $1500-$2000 using comparables in the area BUT taking on the unknown circumstances and just my assumption based on photos, you rear ended someone and in CA whenever rear ending someone it is almost 99.9% of the time found at fault. So unless someone hit you behind and you ran into the guy in front, most likely they will not pay you out on it so it may all fall on you (financially). Just my opinion. If you need help, DM me.
