What exactly is bent? And what are you plans? I'd be looking for a new trunk lid and bumper cover

It was all bent up around where the taillight assemblies go. So while they were out I worked on pounding them out some. The drivers side is spot on, I have to do just a little bit of work on the passenger side. Body work isn't my thing so I'm just doing a little at a time. Oh yeah, when the car was hit it chipped and cracked some if the sealer up around the seams, what can I use to redo those spots and not make it look hideous or make it heavier than need be?
The trunk lid and bumper cover are on my list of things to buy.I have a pick and pull locally, but money and a means to move them are hindering me getting them. I also have to pick up an intact steering column. Unfortunately, then I will have to get a new ignition switch and new lock tumbler assembly for the trunk since I doubt pick and pull keeps the keys for the cars they bring in.

Both a trunk lid and bumper cover will fit in the interior of your car (seperately), been there done that.

I can't plate my car because Virginia has vehicle inspections and as it sits it won't pass. the plate that is on there is from my old car so they don't tow it due to not being plated. My wife won't let me put it in her car.

Well this weekend I will probably hit the Pick 'N Pull, I'll be moving some furniture to my apartment 10 minutes away from there, so I'll have my dad's F-150 and possibly my Brother's Ranger too. If you want, I wouldn't have an issue transporting any large parts. I'd be more than happy to help get another Bonnie on the road!

So the rain let up for a little while so I thought I would go out and snap a few more pics and take a couple videos.

Here is the reason for a new bumper cover and trunk lid

My clear corners are in. Notice the hood is trashed and I'm pretty sure the drivers side fender is misaligned. I think when the rear end got hit they hit what was in front of them. That or the last owner was just a crappy driver.

Now for some videos.

Thanks for offering, but unfortunately I don't have the $150 that its going to take to make the car plateable. It probably won't get finished, plated, and on the road till after deployment.

So I went to pick and pull and grabbed a trunk lid, rear vents, new foglights, cobra head shift knob from grand prix, and some hardware to put on my new grille once I get the hood bent back to the right shape. I will post pics once the new stuff is installed.

You know, my 95 looked almost just like that before Peterg22000 worked his magic on it.

Be my twin :)

Well I got most of the stuff done. I only got to take a couple pics tonight. I will take some more tomorrow.

Here are the pics I have now.

After: Off of Early 00's GP. The shift buttons I got from jason1351. I had to modify the wiring due to the fact that I only had 3 buttons on my original, and the new set has 5. I was going to blackout the two ride option buttons, but decided to not hook them up since it looks good with all the buttons.
