    Doesnt look too bad, but my vert didnt either, and it was fucked. Cant see really well though either. All I see is a mashed fender and wavy noodle of a bumper hanging halfway off. You're going to have some sheet metal work to bend back so things bolt up right, but as long as the frame rail isnt mashed some way it should be just a matter of replacing parts that dont fit anymore or are crunched, fender, bumper shock, bumper, valence?? Its like a picture of a hot chick wearing a black garbage bag and asking if shes hot. Dig in.

      Replacing the valance would probably help quite a bit. Post some photos of it all stripped down

        Front valence goes around the frame rails and bumper shock holes though, there is no *visible* damage to it with the bumper on in those pics. Just a beat up fender and bumper that's somehow transformed itself into a noodle. Should be telling with better pics though.

          you should take the bumper off, so it doesnt get used to being in that possition!

          or looks like its cracked maybe will need new one

            By looking at the pictures, it could very well be some frame damage, which would cause fender, hood, bumper, etc won't line up, even after you DIY straighten the frame (without professional / computerized / body shop help).
            If you don't really care about perfection ( as long as it looks kinda ok and less money to spend).
            Otherwise, getting the whole front end repaired just like "it never happened" it will cost you a lot of money.
            Last option would be getting another straight solid shell and swap it.
            It all depends on what you want to do in the near future.

                The important thing is.. the Roundel didn't get scratched.
