I need some advice on front panel.





Drivers side Wheel Arch.

Hood.

Front bumper.

Top and bottom of Slam panel are bent.



Side supports look fine.





Anyone know best way to remove them ?

 

DAM !! I don't know how to fix your sh*t,but, I feel bad for you!,hope no one got hurt !?

 

That's a hell of a blow out

Take it to MOT just like that and see what they say.





As for fixing it, no clue.

I'm going to presume, aside from the exterior, the core support and radiator are likely toast. Add that to what you see. Sounds like it's time to tow it home and start disassembling. That and a bottle of cheap "forget the entire day" liquor would be the first steps in my book.

 

The entire front of the car has to come apart, including breaking a zillion welds on the core support and welding the new one in. The engine/transmission have to come out. It's a big job and the repair calls for a high degree of skill to do properly. If you ask an insurance company, they will probably call it a total loss.

 

Rad and engine are fine. was driven out with assistance because of wet grass.



Bumper support is broke. also top and bottom braces bent.



I'll upload some pictures today of strip down.



It was my parents first car. In uk the insurance are allowed to keep your car without giving u the chance to buy it back, So decided to keep the car and let the insurance pay for the fences.

 

I am amazed that lower radiator support wasn't bent, since it isn't I think it wouldn't be too hard to fix.



I put an elantra back together that had similar damage. Most of that stuff is easy to get off with a socket set. The fenders are surprisingly easy to get off. The hardest part I had, working on an extremely small budget to help someone, was the headlights. If that hit deformed the area that the headlight mounts I recommend getting the new lights first, if those are damaged, and then try and reshape that area to accept the new headlights. I made it work with a pair of vice grips and a hammer.



I suck at body work type stuff and did it cheap and in a very short amount of time. Tools, socket set, crowbar, jack, hammer, vice-grips, and other small crap like that. Ohhh and paint! Areas where the metal bent the paint came off. That and grabbing it with vice grips took some as well. I made sure to repaint those areas to prevent rust. Some of it was hard to see where it had come off.



From the front looking like this (it had more damage above the bumper of course)





bumper supports took more damage than this picture makes it seem, the plastic bounced back out. A good bit if it was fixed with clamps and a 4 ton floor jack to help with the bending.
