Default Who loves crashes!?

Well, not me, especially when they happen to me. Dont really feel like talking about how it happened, but i do know that the unibody is pretty dented, from the looks of it can anyone think of anything i should check? Trunk doesnt close any more, already got the wheel fixed so the spare is no longer on, back end is where the worst damage is, no engine damage what so ever so it will live again soon.

When it happened it was such a bad feeling inside knowing how messed up everything was, but i have faith that she will be fine, gonna do whatever i need to do to get her back up, engines fine so the heart is still there.

guard rail?? definetally fixable when you hammer out the rear quarter start hammering out the part under the back bumper, once you get that back pretty close slowly hammer out the quarter panel, this way you will not strech the metal on the part you see. might have to wail on the part under the bumper to get it back out!
