Today wasn't a good day, I was on my way to work and the car in front of the car i was behind stopped suddenly to make a turn when there was on coming traffic and the guy in front of me stopped suddenly and pulled to the right and then there was me who was trying to avoid a manhole, since they raise them and are going to pave over them, and I didn't notice that the two cars in front of me were at a dead stop and me, I was still doing about 35 to 40 mph and was only about a hundred or so feet away. Any who, I slammed on the brakes (which didnt help because there was a dusting of sand on the road) and my car skidded and went under a jeep.

Here's the pic:



So from what I saw, I need a hood, bumper, crash bar, drivers side high & low beam, radiator & support, and some other odds and ends.
Air bags blew, but I'll just replace the steering wheel with a racing one for now and I'll just cut the other air bag out or just replace it.
The windshield I can get replaced for free since it is a part of my insurance. I think thats it right now, but I'll get some pics up tomorrow after I start pulling some stuff off.

Luckily there is a junk yard in town with a white celi there with some parts so I can get some off of that.
Don't ask for parts unless you want the broken stuff? cause I'm not parting out, I'm fixing her up.

So I just got back from vacation today, and I'm going to be getting parts little by little.
To Espo and Agent21, I already got the radiator support out. Pretty much the whole front area is torn out.
First off, I'm going to get a radiator & support, along with the a/c condenser, coolant holder, and a ton of bolts. I have to drill a few out cause they snapped on me =/
The two worst ones were the ones that snapped on the side of the fender by the door hinges. It's going to be a b**** to get them out..ughh.
