I recently crashed my car and bent some things, like the radiator support, fender skirt, and bumper beam. Pretty sure there is more. I wanted to see if anyone knows any shops that can fix all the damage and also install a silvia front end which i would be providing. I know it wont be cheap but hoping someone has a miracle or something. lol you can either respond to me on here or on my cell through text or call. 324-3922 Thanks -Sean

Idk of any hook up but it might be in you best intrest to buy a shell for it just might be cheaper.
Or pay a good shop for good work that's all manual labor there I don't think your frames hurt .
I forsee come alongs and hammer and dies to fix that.

i thought the same thing but just having to switch everything over sounds like a PIT and i live in a apartment with no garage so its pretty tough. I might end up paying 700-1g for a shell and who knows how much for the labor to swap everything over including swap and what not. So regardless it shouldnt be that much of a price difference so i might as well resurrect this coupe and get it back to par. Thanks for your advice. I know someone knows somebody that knows somebody..

ghetto as it sounds, hit up maaco...they rebuilt a complete front end (rad support, rad, ac condenser, etc)
and painted the whole car with their TOP of the line package and did a DAMN good job for like $1800...no paint and just the body work should be pretty cheap. worth a shot.

i could if i fixed whatever is bent, think its the tie rod and when i wrecked, the battery got pushed back causing the positive terminal to hit the aluminum coolant reservoir so something got shorted out for sure. I'd rather just spend $60 to get it towed to the shop to fix everything all at once and not be seen with a busted whip lol

you could just take off the other fender and it would look more symmetrical.
i guess people might look at you funny, but realistically those people both don't know you and don't care anyway.
s13's without body panels are so much cooler than the same car with primered/mismatched parts.

then you could save some cash, and drive it to dds.
i thought tow trucks usually cost a bunch.
