Default SC front End damange

To make a long story short... i Brought this sc from my cousin about 9 months ago and its been sitting in my driveway since. He crashed it before hand and doesn't look to bad.Now that i got rid of one of my other cars i can start working on it and my plans for it is to be my DD. im trying to get it back on the road and im on a budget.. From these pictures what do you think can be saved and fixed? and what should i buy? im thinking hood bumper and headlights...

Hood, bumper, grill, it only looks like one of the highs is cracked, possibly a few support
clips. I guess start from there and see how things are lining up. Check the SC classifieds
section or create a WTB thread for parts. Best of luck. It will be a good looking car once
it's finished.

Depending on how bad it is, you'll probably need item #12, maybe even 10 and 11 too. Also, watch out for deformation of the front fenders at the seam where they join the front bumper. It can look ok at first, but then surprise you when you try and bolt up to it again. G/L

doesnt look too bad. new hood for sure. You may be able to find a hood around your area just to save on shipping. that'd be my biggest concern is shipping such a big item

LOL - I agree. I'd replace the side mirrors before anything else

I think the bumper is definitely salvageable. The top should pull out ok. Grill and hood replacement (after side mirrors!)
