please tell me i dont have to sell my car to harry'*. c pics
i removed the bumper as to get ready to put all the new parts on and look what i found.
please tell me its still fixable and driveable. and not JY material..
in the first 3 pics this is the drivers side bumper reinforcement bracket.. is it supposed to be that much facing upwards.?
(((((((( now in these 2 pics these are of the passengers side frame where the bumper reinforcement mount comes out of the car frame..
((((((((((note how straight it is)))))))))))))))))))))))
(((((((((now in these next 2 pics you will see the drivers side of where the bumper reinforcement mount is coming out from is all bent up like a pringle chip.))))))))
(((((please tell me this is repairable.)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))or im going to cry))))))))

I see an oily film on the impact absorber. Is that what it is? If so, the absorbers are shot. They're one-shot use......
.....now on to your question.....what problems are you having? Did I miss an accident posting, or did you just discover previous damage?

You missed the accident post.
And that is repairable, but the question is, do you want to spend the money on it. It'* probably going to be a little bit of money to have that pulled out properly. Probably would need to be on a frame machine for a little bit. You may be able to rig something up and try and do it yourself, but that would be quite an undertaking, and probably take a lot of time.
Now, if you are about cutting corners, you might be able to just hammer on the shock absorber to get it level again, and then re-attach everything, but just know that that corner will be weaker if you should get into an accident again. I would also replace the shock absorber after hammering (I would do it regardless) as like wren said, they are one time use (technically)
Either way, that doesn't look like fun. I have noticed up in my area and up to rochester there are several 95 SE'* that need a motor or tranny that you may want to consider and then swap yours into it.
