Damn Wild Animals

About one hour ago I was on my way into town to wash my beloved '88 744 gle. Never made it that far. Now I've got a dirty and bashed up car. I smacked a stinkin deer at about 30-40 mph. Two of them jumped out right in front of me, missed the first, clipped the second with my left front corner. Probably would have missed it had it not been for all the stinkin sand on the roads after all the snow lately. That stuff is almost worse than snow. I've got a smashed parking light, blinker, headlight bezel, headlights out of aim, and very slight bends in the corner of the hood and fender. Just so happens I already have the parking light and bezel and know where to get the blinker and if needed front fender. How much do you think this would cost to repair? I am definately going to fix it myself but still want to get a estimate. A friend with a '93 Honda nailed one last summer and got $900 from insurance for a busted headlight and a very shallow palm sized dent in the hood. I'm wondering if my damage will exceed my $500 deductible. We'll see tomorrow. Wish me luck.
