Thats fixable. Had similar with mine, needed new bonnet, cross members, crash bar, radiator, mirrors and bumper.

Looks like you'll need radiator, cross members, crash bar, bumper and bonnet? You'll have to have it put on a jig to make sure the chassis legs aren't bent in, but you'd prob be looking at under a grand to fix it.

Snap

my old corsa

looks like you did the same as what happened to me.

my mate told me mine was not worth repairing as it migh of cost more than what it was worth,
may needing jigging as the bottom of the car pulled the chassis legs in

good luck with it.

I drove it home though after the crash and it was pulling to the left which was understandable because the wish bone or what ever was bent back but the engine runs mint and the gears and everything are working fine but like ya say its fixable always at a cost.

At first glance i didnt think it was too bad, but now the idea Adam-D had sounds the best option. Be hard to ever get that feeling right again.

I think its going to be expensive but as above if repaired itll never be 100% the sameagain ! + The Adam D option would be my approach!

Good Luck

Can we all just be extra careful in this weather.

Its a joke really, seen so many people today driving at ridiculous speeds as though its summer still and not adapting to the conditions.

I just dont know what to do next whats my next step, the car will move and the engine runs but am not driving it to a body shop, and they dont come out to your door do they. Corsa808 is coming down to have a look so i will just go from there if i can get it fixed for a reasanable price then i will if not i will do what Adam D said but i know nothing about car engine's so swaping things over will take long and i need the car to get to and from work
