kindasad.gif Hey guys,

I got into an accident; bumper reinforcement bar bent into radiator a bit, cracked a light, cracked the windshield and the airbags went off. Ugh. Never been in an accident before and it happened in my favorite car. frown.gif So I'm thinking I can replace the bumper, the bar, the light, and the windshield, but I checked the guide someone posted here and the airbags and sensors are the things I can't do. I don't even want to attempt it on my own. My dad has tools, but it's over his head too I believe. If anyone is in the Bay Area and would want to waste away a Sunday helping me replace airbags, I'll buy the parts and whatever beer of your choosing. I honestly have very little money otherwise I'd buy another Celica and call it a day. Thanks for any info you guys can give me. kindasad.gif

It's been a couple years since I owned my Celica so I don't have an example in front of me to examine. One part of advice I can give is to disconnect your battery then depress the brake for a few seconds to discharge any power remnant in the car, last thing you want to do is accidentally trigger an airbag installing it. The steering wheel should be fairly straightforward as there's a screw/bolt in each corner on the back of the wheel that holds the bag in if I'm not mistaken. The passenger side I just can't remember. Perhaps the online manual section on AutoZone has the needed information.
