font end Damage-is it the end?
so, i accidentally drove a military k-5 blazer onto the hood of my girlfriends 1997 civic dx 5 speed. it destroyed the hood, a head light and bent some of frame in front making a new headlight and hood impossible install, the radiator is fine though some mounting is bent. The car runs and drives fine as if nothing happened. I can not find any diagrams of the frame so i dont know if replacing this front end section of the frame is possible/ makes any sense to do. is this possible or is the civic toast?

Re: font end Damage-is it the end?
ouch...you will be lucky if you just need a new rad support, bumper cover, hood, fenders, bumper assembly, and radiator mounts. but if you take off the front bumper cover you should be able to tell what you need replaced.

Not to mention fixing that wire harness. Also, even if you replace all those parts everything may not fit right.
