My beloved daughter unfortunately ran the Camry into the backend of a fool who took off at the lights and then stomped on the brakes halfway across. Pouring rain, hail and debris on the road and BANG! My daughter is fine but front end of Camry got busted:
2 bust headligts
Bonnet Buckled and won't close
All the grill work busted
The assembly between the Bumper and radiator buckled (did not get radiator) This includes the apron that the radiator bolts to that holds the hood catch
A panel beater that I know reckons that a panel beaters will quote some thousands to fix, but if there is a cheaper do it yourself alternative that will not brak the bank? The car is worth $2000 max and I am torn between attempting to repair (I am not to clever) and taking it (still drives ok) down the wreckers... :(
Any ideas ?
PS my my daughter is fine (and will get another later model car)
to fix or not to fix
