    Looking for input

    So I slipped out in some ice and hit a fence. I lucked out and only thing I've found wrong with it is a bent tie rod which I'm waiting for a new pair to come in and I immediately got a new set of tires. What I'm looking for input on though is in your guys opinion should I try fixing the damage myself or order a new panel of pelican parts which would cost me close to 300$ with the exchange rate. Il post a picture in the morning of what it currently looks like. The metal has crumpled in in a few spots and I'm worried about taking a rubber Mallet to it so wondering if also if there's any better methods for removing debts

      Great advice if you ask me.

      My guess there is more damage that maybe hidden. The damage is minor and fixable. 300$ is cheap if that will pay for the parts.

        Looks more like lack of snow tires than whether or not to drive in the snow....


        Anyway, just replace the panel. I agree that there's probably more under there than just the fender, but pull it off and take a close look.

          Thinking you owe the folks some money to fix their fence. You won't know the extent of it till you pull the fender and then go from there. Is the car worth spending the money on or just replace fender and a drive like such for a couple of years.
