Re: crying ever since 700 1987

You can fix the thing. Why not? Since you've got the parts, get someone to set up the frame work for you, and then hang the sheet metal. Pulling out that kind of a hit is a quick fix.

The dollar figures for getting a good frame measurement and alignment vary wildly. Like, from $200 to $1200 for the same job. Some shops will charge 1.5 hours of measurement and pulling, and others charge 8. It's ridiculous, so shop until you get the deal you want.

When you get the thing back, all you'll have to do is get the metal hung on it. That takes only an hour for most of the front clip. Then take it to the paint shop that you choose (price them out also--same reasons as frame).
