It has been driven, for a couple weeks... so i am not sure if the accident caused the problem...
The car is at the local sunoco shop... so they are probably going to fix it (My dad owns the car right now... so he is going to do it the way he wants
)
I will see what happens, but the shop is suppose to call be4 doing any work... so they may or may not be fixing it.
I will let you know when i hear whats going on.... i am hoping my dad doesnt want to junk it... the accident didnt really do any mechanical damage besides bending the a/c cond. from what i can see.... but i will find out soon enough

Yea, exactly... i completely agree with you.
It really isnt in that bad of condition (besides the recent body damage)
My dad already put alot of money into it (new belt, radiator, other small fixes)
I am probably going to try and fix the major body pieces that are messed up myself (with pieces from the junkyard)
And i might even have a body shop paint the new pieces so they look almost identical (depending on how much it costs)

(At this point we're no longer talking Audio (and aftermarket electronics), so if somebody wants to relocate this to a better forum, be my guest...

yea, thats probably a better idea
, i think the years are 92-95...
Im curious tho, what if i found a SSE or SSEi??? i think the grill is the same (at least i think it will bolt on the same)... but what about the bumper cover???
Just in case i find .. say... a white (92-95) SSE....

Oh, yeah, come to think of it, that SSE/SSEi bumper cover will probably have headlamp washers in it!

You won't have the switchgear and plumbing for those washers on your SE (it requires a different control paddle on the turn-signal lever
![Arcade](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/arcadefreak.gif)
Biggest difference will be in the position of the foglights, which will get relocated from where foglights are supposed to be, as the SE has them, to where _driving_ lights should really be, where the SSE has them.
If you're upgrading from SE to SSE, I think you'll need to get the supporting structure for the bumper cover, not just the cover itself, but I imagine the junkyard will want to sell only the whole assembly anyway, so that decision will have been made for you...

Well, actually i wont be fixing it at all....
My dad had the local sunoco shop take out the alarm system...
So now we are going to take it to a junkyard or donate it...
If anyone is interested in a running white '92 bonny let me know...

Really, you are making this way too hard on yourself.
