if you can fix the front inner sheetmetal with a hammer and dolly aka no welding in new parts and the frame isnt bent i would guess about 1k to fix without paint using new parts. You could get that down to 350 with used parts. I just saw a complete lx front clip fenders lights front bumper and hood for 300 on stangnet.com. also does the car still drive straight or is it tweaked.

I dont even know if its tweaked. I found somewhere close where I can get the hood, fender, and bumper for 400. So now im worried about the frame. One of my friends told me 500 and up to fix that and I almost puked! So u suggest hammering it out?

$350 with both fenders. Yes, fox body years. From the pics I didn't think you needed a passenger side fender. Sorry

it looks like the left frame rail is down, pushed back, and swung to the left.the right rail probably swung to the left with it, check the right door to fender gap, its probably wide. you could change the sheet metal but i doubt that you would be able to line it up properly, and the subframe most likely moved with the frame, so your alignment would be off, and the tires would wear quickly or the car would pull left. you could probably drive the car like this, but i would suggest that you have the frame squared.

by the way bay area shops charge around $70/hr for frame. you have 1.5 hours to set up and measure your car, 3.0 hours to repair the left rail and about 1.0 hour for the right rail. this is just what i see from your pictures it may not be as bad in person, but there may be more hidden damage so the labor times could go either way.

Cheap labor rates equal shitty work, you get what you pay for.
And I don't reccomend you driving with a tweaked frame either. Just think if you rear ended someone or your ran head on with a wall. Do you know how easy that frame would fold and give?
Foxes are so cheap now a days I don't see why you just don't get another one.

wouldnt it be cheaper to fix mines than get another one. Yea I can swap over all my parts, interior, engine, tranny and all but id still have to get a paint job. Thats expensive.
