hello everyone,how's it going....

Welcome.
I'm doing alright, how about yourself?lol
Just a heads-up, we're all crazy, egotistical and full of crap. But if you've got issues, we got all the info you need. Probably.

It's not as bad as some I've seen, frame looks to still be straight... I'd say try and find a same color 04-08 GP in a junkyard or pick n pull, and just grab a fender and maybe a front bumper...you might be able to pop that dent back and just fix the rest of the damage with some bumper epoxy.
You could probably even grab a different color, and see if a body shop will mix you a few rattle cans for a color match and repaint them yourself. There's plenty of us who have rattle can bumpers and whatnot, just a little prep work and alot of patience and it'll look like nothing happened.

Well hopefully I can bend out what's bent in on this side,but also I think it shifted the motor a bit,cause the motor mount on passenger side is bent also,just noticed it while taking everything off,also driver side tire is pulling to the right and when you turn the wheel straight passenger front wheel is slightly turned out to the right,so I think it has more damage then I originally thought

I would say just get some new, or new to you, mount brackets or dogbone, whichever is bent...
The alignment is probably all jacked up, possibly some bent components... I would get it up on some jack stands, pull the wheels off and inspect everything.
If the car's got anywhere around 100k miles or more, the suspension could probably already be needing a refresh or even upgradedefinitely check the tie rods, look for bent or cracked metal on the control arms and struts, sway bar and end links, etc etc...
Most of it you can get pretty cheap, even the suspension upgrades.

Frame? What frame?Originally Posted by WarStryker13
I fixed one that was worse than yours. Stretched the inner fender supports back forward, welded in a new radiator support, etc. You have to decide if it's worth it to you or not. With how low prices have come on GPs, I don't know if I would be interested in doing all the work again rather than just parting it out and getting another car.

lol I think it's that thing that's also the body, floorboards, and everything else?
As to whether it's worth it to fix, I was expecting alot more damage than what I saw when he said he wrecked. Lol
