Friend was driving, went over a bump too fast, the back of the car got light, fishtailed, and went up a curb.

I took tons of pics, but in short, the tires on the front now scrape and rub the fenders...the rear tires are a little sideways and protruding...the radiator support broke into pieces, so on.

The frame damage near on the fenders was there when i got it, same as the damage in the bay near the radiator. My headlights were crooked when I got it as well, it had minor front end damage, the owner said.

If anyone can give me a price at how much I'd be looking at to repair this, please let me know. Or if you can let me know what parts I need that'd be great too, as I'd rather do it myself.

I agree with diablo. Kill the friend. Then start pulling and welding. As for price, I'm guessing for a mech to do it. If you're not friends with the shop. A lot.

Started to take it apart today...i'll need to weld a new front support on, as well as get a come-a-long and straighten the front of the frame out. Pics will be up as soon as I'm done uploading.

I guess this will now sort of be a log of me fixing it.

Things needed...

-Radiator
-Radiator Support
-New tension rods and or bushings for them
-Figure out why the back tires are a little sideways...maybe they can be aligned?
-What is that part called that is near the bottom right of the last picture..? it has 4 small holes in it and 2 big holes, it's by the dangling wires, and AC line.

Help me out!! IF anyone has a front radiator support please let me know...

Also, if I take the radiator support off an 89' hatch, will it work with the 93'? Will I be able to put my bumper back on...cause I hate pignose.

I've been calling around junkyards. I found a S13 core support, headlights, drivers fender, and tension rod brackets :thumbsup

Pics will be up once I get the parts..

Progress update....

The new front support is welded on. Everything lines up better.. I used a come-along to straighten out the frame prior to welding it.

The left drivers tire was a bit crooked, but I fixed that...I adjusted some shit, haha.

The rear drivers side tire is still crooked, but I also found out why. The spindle is cracked, so I'll just replace that. Will any 89-94 rear spindle work?

Pics will be uploaded when I'm done with everything.

Rule #1:

No One drivers my car but me (and the state mandated inspection guy once a year in the parking lot)

Rule #2:

If I break Rule #1, and my so called "friend" did something to bend metal, hurt my engine, scratch my paint, drop ass in the driver's seat, etc... HE (because a "She" will never drive my car, including my wife) will be reimbursing me 100% for all parts, and the cost of beer.

I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about letting "friends" (who obviously can't drive for shit) drive your car...
