Nicely put.

It looks very fixable. Like other people have said, it's a good thing your car is lowered
I don't have access to a puller, but I do have a hydraulic ram

I like the artificial drop the accords behind did to your Merc.

Looks nice dropped like that.

any pics of what happend to the engine? i hope the timing cover didn't get cracked or something cuz then you might have timing chain problems


but by the obvious coolant leak pic you will need a rad and most of the surroundings parts

as for the hood, i worked at a body shop for a short while but not long enough to learn all the tricks but i think they can fix the hood up for like 300-400 plus paint

usually hoods are quiet expensive ( up to a grand or more ) not sure about the 190e hood price though

unless u can find one for 200-300 at the junkyard

Hmm, It looks like a radiator at my pick-n-pull is $47 and the hood is the same price (without hinges).. I'm growing way impatient and stressed cause i'm not allowed to even touch the car until the insurance company reviews my photos of the damage, or they come and take photos themselves. I want to see the engine so bad and i'm hoping that the radiator took most of the impact, thus barely tapping the front of the engine. I'm on thanksgiving break for school, off for one week, I hate waking up and having nothing to do except stare at her
