A picture would help a lot. First off, there is no frame on these cars, they are uni-body, so damage could be minor to major depending on impact. I would guess everything that is plastic up front will need to be replaced. If the steering, suspension, brakes, radiato,r and condensor aren't damaged, you may only have to deal with fenders, front clip plastic, and hood....the bad news, even if thats all it is, it will still be pricey.

Does your boyfriend know about it yet? But yeah, pictures are needed before anybody can start guessing on what might need to be fixed.

Ooooh.... Im telling!!

Better hope he isn't already a member here. Or you missy will be in REAL trouble

Pics of outside the car, hood popped (if possible), and side view to see how bad it is. After you get the body damage take care of, take it to a shop to inspect the suspension and frame.

The nose assemblies on these cars can be difficult, and it is very time consuming. You really need to post a pic, and prepare for the fact that repair may very well cost much more than the car is worth. Much more. Good luck. BTW- the nose on this car is SPECIFIC to the 82-84 model. DO NOT order a standard 3rd gen nose.....
