Alright

I won't even bother getting into the story as of how
it happened as it just depresses knowing me the
stupidity of it all caused the SHO and myself so much
damn pain, but now i gotta fix her!

Questions about the body panels - Where is the front
fender welded as far as the inner fender? the hit bent
the subframe mounting area on the LF corner, which
caused the bolt to snap and fly off. It's not bent too
badly, however would it be a weak point if i were to
just straighten it out and rebolt the subframe? 

I just need the car drivable until i can work again
(my leg is fractured and my boss gave me the royal
screwage.. is that even a word?) and make up for the
damage/replace this SHO/ get another SHO and keep this
one as a winter beater.. 

Most of the impat was directly across the LF fender
corner.. which.. caused my bumper and bumper fascia to
fly off, tored off my headlight, headlight splash
shield, (portion that the headlight bolts up to) and
the problem with the kinked subframe along w/ a kink
beneath the airbox. I know.. Sounds bad.. The worst
part was the parts flying off. One other in the car
with me was my g/f... We were on our way to celebrate
our anniversary when this all happened.. We're both
okay, in fact, we didn't even FEEL the impact! Scary..
Well, any input is greatly appreciated.

TIA
