Hi Guys, wrecked the nova this week end a pole crossed the road in fornt of me!

The front end is totally bend and shrinked and beyond, do you guys know the best palce for a cowl support, both fenders, hood, grille, a door?

The front subframe seems fine, the chinese a arms are shot but appears that the rest of the car is fine.

Any help even with used parts would be really appreciated, I'll try to post some pics but it is hard for me to do so or look at the car right now. If sponsors want to offer a quote for the full package, I'm not against it.

If you feel like you can help; please PM or mail @: [email protected]

Thanks in advance

Ben

If all the sheet metal is bent & the A arms are bent, def check the subframe & pull some cross measurements. It would suck to get it all together & find out its tweeaked. Hope all turn out well. Scott

Well i guess you are right, pulled the sheet metal last night to find out the subframe is bent :( Luckily I have one locally for a decent price.

I listen to what you guys said and placed an order to AMD for the hard to find parts ( radiator support, cowl hood and some other little brackets and hardware )
I'm hoping to find the rest ( fenders, bumpers, door ) used to save up for the subframe replacement and A arms.
Going for a rack and pinion as my previous steering box was a bit loose and now that the steering linkage is a bit bent it will solve this problem.

The car looked worst than it is actually, ( I say that to make me feel a bit better about my mistake)

Thanks guys for the input and I trully appreciate all the offers I received. This forum is full of knowledgeable, friendly, helpfull guys!

Regards

Hi Randy, yeah I'm ok (well kinda) the car was sold but not picked up yet, took it out to a weekly meet, and a pole crossed the street! And now I'm in deep ****! the buyer backed out wich is normal and I have to find the funds to repair!

It will be fixed and end up an even better car once finished.

Thanks for checking on me Randy
