Here's to breaking shit. My 'rebuild'

[Atreus]

Ok, so the other day i lost control and skidded into a pillar. as noticed below....












so now im on to removing shit and seeing how bad everything is...
the bolt to the right of the six, how essential is that? i stripped the shit out of it. the two on the left, i'm scared to touch as they were looking like they were about to strip also..






Got the left fender off, i cheated and tore it off as the clip by the turn wire had a bolt that was inaccessible








control arm still looks good, right? haha. i never took one off before, looks like its gonna be FUN >_<




















Here is a good example of DOF for anyone into photography. lol.





















how do i remove that front bumper? i see the two torx bolts, but one is jammed in by the valence. i stripped the torx bolts by the front signals. how bad is that???

more pics to come.

[der affe]

grind the head off, remove the bumper, then use vice grips to turn the "shaft" of the bolt out

[Kwaaahhh]

If the frame is damage/pushed in, might be a good idea to leave the reinforcement bar on and pull it out to straighten it. That way when you replace hood, bumper, fender and grill everything will line up properly.

That sucks man. If I was back in town I'd offer to help you fix the car, but I wont be for quite some time. Hope you get it fixed and start bringing it to the meets!

Dude, I think you broke it.

Good luck.

That really sucks man. But it was nice talking with you today. If you decide to fix it up let me know I am down to help.
