At home bodywork

[DirtySeattle]

So I hit a pole the other day and have spent hours since then putting it back together. I'm still in need of a bumper but can't find one locally. Whats a good website to buy one from? And a cheap one too.

But does anyone have any tips for doing at home bodywork?

looks like your core support is bent... the hood is fixable with some minor body work....i fixed my old e30 when i crashed ....

How did you straighten out the front part of the frame? And would a DruaFlex m-tech bumper off of ebay work?

the frame for some reason wasnt bent the core support got pushed a little, got some chain from a local shop tied it to a poll and put it in reverse until the core support lined up to what i thought was good..

an mtech one would work, but you still need the fiberglass part of the original bumper i believe, and yours looks pretty much trashed...its more convinient to get another valance, and bumper, and a bumper shock to make things easier....

Lots of ebay m-tech bumpers will fit like crap and never look right. A stock bumper would probably be better.
