Umm...actually, I hit the van at about 160 degree's of the 180 degree spin...then I stopped...

I've already got a new bumper and fender lines up for $250

You pull the fender and the bumper off and straighten the supports behind it. &nbsp;Repair the contour line through the finder first. &nbsp;After that use a little repair screen and some filler for that hole. &nbsp;Hammer in the edges of the screen. &nbsp;Fill/knock out any other dents and sand, prep and paint. &nbsp;As for the bumper...its not that bad once you repair the parts that are actually holding it back. &nbsp;The bumper should pop out and you can repair any gouges in it with bondo and paint it with some auto spray paint. &nbsp;If you do it right, its a good looking temporary fix. &nbsp;I believe youre going to be doing some support repair even if you buy new parts if you want them to fit right. &nbsp;Trust me, Ive repaired several wrecked cars for friends and youve never been able to tell.

Okay Chris, Can I ask you to help me out then? &nbsp;I have personally seen your work before, so I do know what to expect(good stuff!<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>. I am heading out to Rock Hill THIS WEEKEND to pick up my new 10AE fender and red(ugh) bumper(which I'm going to have to sand down, paint, and then take it to a shop and have them paint the whole car I think)

Thanks for the help.
