That truck made teh world go sideways. You got lucky, that damage isn't much. Looks like everything is still in alignment so no metal is bent. Just another front bumper cover and maybe foam and you are done.

Just put a lead pipe bumper on and you wont have to worry about something like that happening again.

That really does suck though, man.

Last night when I got home from work I checked it out and looks like the front has been shifted over to the passenger side about 1/2 inch. There is hardly a gap between hood and fender on drivers side and a big gap on passenger side. Anyone wanna buy a 91SE?............. ......3 month old rebuilt trans in it......anyone???

looks like rally car materiel to me.

when i pulled out in front of a truck in my 79 mustang pace car it moved the front end over 6 inches. sooo we tied it to a tree and used a truck to staighten it out.
it's straight, but not strong enough to drive. you MIGHT be able to get away with it. but don't take my word for it. i bet there is a less-arkansas way of doing it that would be better.

Fix it man. I had my front end straightened after a 40+ mph head-on collision. That was almost 5 years ago. The girl was too good to me to let her go. Of course, the person who hit me had to pay for it, but yours seems so fixable to me based on the pics.

And the roof doesn't even have a ding from the rollover lol.

I say fix it. My first max was porabably fixable, but most ppl I knew were being very negative, when I had almost everything I needed! Then I got a killer deal on a max that needed minimal work, but I got lucky. But yours is fine. Just have a truck hit it the same speed, going the oppsite way. J/P lol. GL with it.

You could wait for the truck to come back from the other direction, pull out into it again and the front end should be right back to center!

Seriously though, tough luck that, but good you weren't hurt.

Thanks for the lead man.....I havent looked at all yet for a new bumper but I'll try them first. I work in that area. The only difference on a 92-94 is the grill isnt it?
