Most of the damage is in the front passenger side area. The front end is just a little messed up on that small peice of sheet metal that goes between the bumper and headlight. It was kinda crunched up so I just bent it straight up to get it out of my way to get what was left of my flip up headlight off the car. I can probably pound it out and ghetto rig it with body filler but I really hate body filler.
What I need to do is straighten the square tube frame peice that the front passenger side fender bolts to, the first 3 or 4 bolt holes got crushed but amazingly nothing major is creased, just flattened and mangled.

Basically what happened is I blew a tire and it kicked me around in a circle, I hit the front passenger side on the pole on my first way around then I pinballed off it and hit my exhaust tips on the street sign and ripped it in half, and the rear of my car took out the phone box and the fence on my second way around before I stopped, facing the direction I originally intended on going. Im just very greatful that I missed the BMW with 3 older ladies in it, and that I didnt hurt anyone, there was only about a foot between the 2 cars when I was completely out of control.

one time a s-10 stopped right in front of me and i crushed up my headlight and fender and to fix the frame that the fender bolts on to i acutally, to pull the frame up i put a bolt in the last hole and suspended the car by it with some strong wire and a chain come-along then i heated it up and banged it all out and now you even tell there was a wreck
