Today i crashed up my mustang, hit a tree and telephone pole, the front tires took a diecent hit,( got pushed back. but the engine is fine. radiator still holds watter.
I am uncleeer how the front end is set up in these cars. I am shur that I will need new a-arms on both sides, and w/e they connect to. just wondering if I should bother fixing this car, it was my baby.
I am 16 and have never driven it on the road, crashed on my driveway. sounds foolish but I have a long driveway. I paid 1,800 for this car. it has some bondo work done to the floors and kick pannels. but it was done nicely. I dident event know the front was bondoed up till I crashed it.

I was looking at some parts cars seems that 500$ can get you a alrite parts car.

I say you fix it up, personally.

Get it up and running again, and in 2 years, she is a classic car!

If you don't have the funds, just chalk that one on the board as a learning lesson.

Otherwise, give the fox a new set of legs.

If the car is a 5.0 I would try to fix it. You didnt metion what it did to the body, how bad is it? One thing you need to look at is the frame rails where the control arms meet the frame, if there bent at all, part the car out on egay, youll never get it right. If you hit a tree and a telephone poll in your driveway then I'm guessing you wasnt going very fast and did little body damage, but pushing the front wheels back takes a pretty hard hit.
