That was a huge dent, I still havent decided if I want to paint it the factory color or go another route.

Original man... otherwise you have so much stuff to paint and it never looks right unless you take the whole truck apart... BIG job there.

I know, I had a focus a while back and we went from white to red and everything had to come out. My color is pretty rare. I've only seen them online, never in person.

I dont really know how to put this other than to just say it. But first some facts. I wasnt driving and its gonna get fixed sooner than the grey truck.
Bronco was in an accident and it needs a whole new front end. luckily the radiator is intact so no need to replace it. This is how it happened.
A friend of mine needed a car. I let him borrow the Bronco. He had it for over a month. He told me he couldnt get his car fixed but he felt bad driving my car so he was gonna drop it off monday morning. I told him to keep it another week. Last night he ran into a bakery van. Van was ok just a bent bumper and a scratch. My bronco wasnt so lucky. We had to tow it back to the yard. I spent all morning looking at the damage and decided I didnt want the memory of seeing it smashed stuck in my head like the grey truck so I started to tear it apart. No Pics. Sorry guys but it looks nasty, please take my word for it. Took off the grill which to my surprise was not damaged. I took off the bumper which was pushed into my tire. Replaced said tire with the spare for the time being. Unbolted the fender so I could push it back forward and open the door. So as it sits right now its drivable in the yard but not road worthy.

It needs a bumper, fender, core support, lights and the plastic header panel. It doesnt look like the suspension got messed up, just the tire.

I have liability but not full coverage. My friend said to just give him the bill.

Well if he wants to make it right, I would either send it his way or offer to split the cost.It needs a bumper, fender, core support, lights and the plastic header panel. It doesnt look like the suspension got messed up, just the tire.
