... Oh crap. Need some help, por favor
Hey guys.
Well, I've got a '96 Camaro RS, which I bought about eight months ago, finally finished fixing her about 2 months ago, and then, when me and some kid from my Biology class were racing, I nailed a guardrail when he swerved over to try and get me to slow down some, when I went to pass him.
My front end is ****ed, yet again, and well, I'm not too sure of my options. I tried doing what I did when I first bought her, and chained her to a tree, and had my uncle kick her in reverse, while I pounded the **** out of the frame to try and get it straight(Yeah, I'm a high school kid. No money= Improv) It worked out well enough, and I pieced the rest of her together. I'll be getting around 1500 bucks or so in the next month (roughly) and I figure I'll just use that to fix the frame this time. The collission ****ed up my driver side fender(which is where most of the frame damage happened) aswell as my bumper. My passenger side, and rear end(in it's entirety) are good, still,
Soooooo, pals, I was wonderin if you guys might have any suggestions, aswell, if you might know right around how much fixing her will cost me. I've got a new fender, hood, and bumper, aswell as all the lights, too, so.. Just the framework pricing is all I'll need. Or if there's a home remedy to my situation, aside from trying to pull it my way again, which might just save me money.

Strip her, save what you can, scrap the rest and find a donor car to start over with. When You have that much damage to the structural integrety of the car, it'll cost far more trying to save it than to replace it. Sorry I can't give You better news but, that car will never be right again. DON'T STREET RACE, **** like this happens all the time, learn from Your misfortune...................
