This is my girlfriend's 89 740, she plowed into the back of some truck. Unfortunately her bumper went under the truck's bumper. I will start calling junkyards in the morning but wanted to solicit some opinions on what this will cost to fix (used parts only) with me providing the labor. I have not ever shopped for body parts so I really have no idea what cost will be.

At first glance I will probably need a hood, headlight trim, radiator mounts, and whatever metal body pieces the hood latches (left and right) fit into. Do you think I can make this car road-worthy by just flattening out the hood and pulling out the hood latch body pieces so that the hood will close fully? How might I go about doing that?

TIA,
Matt
