I am a little worried that if all that needs replaced you didn't mess some of the frame up. Have you had a shop look it over?

I'm with Rafe on this one, I'd be surprised if all that got smashed up and didn't do any damage to the frame and or radiator. But assuming it didn't, all you'd absolutely need to get it back on the road would be lights, bumper and maybe a hood (though a lot of folks down here even drive without hoods lol. I'd get that frame looked at though.

Tiger, check your other post for my reply. No big deal, but no need to start more than one thread. Just keep one thread active by waiting till someone has a chance to read it, if no one has answered in an hour or so, do a "bump" and it will be on top of the new threads again.
