A little encounter with some ice? It looks like u drove into the side of a glacier, possibly the same glacier that sunk the titanic. Anyway the thing to the right of the radiator is an A/C condensor, and yes it looks like ur gonna need a new one. Are you gonna do the body work yourself?

ehhhh. thats pretty bad... you might need to get the unibody straightened.

 

Yeah well what happened was i hit some ice then lost control and hit 2 mailboxes. i swear the one was off of a battle ship the thing was 1/4 in steel. this mailbox would have sunk the titanic. i was not planing on doing the body work myself. i could do some of the body work like the hood and the bumper but i can paint it.

 

With how that looks, I'd have 'em do a once over on the framework too while they're fixin' the body damage. Sorry to hear you didn't win though!

 

Get the unibody checked out..if it's screwed, get a 5th gen coupe or hatch, with a blown motor...should be dirt cheap, swap your motor in and whatever else you wish to keep, than sell the parts from this car...and voila...you have a modding budget:-D

 

that aint bad I am fixing this

Ouch, looks like that mailbox tore you up pretty good. A few layers of bondo should do the trick.
